Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken (3–4 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (light)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme or rosemary (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place the chicken breast-side down on a cutting board. Using kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone to spatchcock it. Flip it over and press down firmly on the breastbone until it cracks.
  3. Rub olive oil over the chicken, then season generously with salt and black pepper.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and fresh herbs until well combined.
  5. Brush half of the glaze over the chicken before placing it in a roasting pan. Roast uncovered for about 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), brushing with more glaze halfway through.
  6. Remove from oven and allow resting for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Nutrition

Keywords: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight with the glaze. Customize the glaze by adding citrus zest or experimenting with different herbs. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days; reheat at 350°F (175°C).
