1
Using kitchen scissors, cut along both sides of the chicken's backbone; discard backbone. Place chicken, skin-side up, on a cutting board. Using the heel of your hand, press down on the breastbone to flatten. Insert a metal skewer through the thigh and opposite wing of the chicken to keep it flat. Repeat with the other thigh and wing. Place chicken in a large, shallow dish.

Combine remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover; refrigerate for 3 hours, or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 425u00b0F. Drain chicken; reserve marinade. Place chicken on an oiled wire rack over a roasting pan. Pour reserved marinade over chicken.

Roast for 30-35 mins, or until browned and cooked through, basting occasionally with pan juices during cooking. Serve with salad.
