Spatchcocking (or butterflying) a chicken is a method of removing the backbone and flattening the breastbone. This helps it to cook evenly and much faster! It may feel a little intimidating at first, but it is really quite easy; you just need to make sure you own a very sharp pair of kitchen sheers! Serve chicken with a garden salad and grilled zucchini. 

Ingredients
1 whole chicken
¼ cups softened butter
¼ cups finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
4 cloves garlic crushed
½ teaspoons sea salt
