Instructions

Preheat oven 375 degrees.
Note: Use the roast setting if your oven has this feature.
FOR DRY RUB:
Combine all the dry rub ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the rub for seasoning the chicken. Store the remaining dry rub in a bowl or bottle with a tight lid. Use it on any type of meat or fish.
Note: Store dry rub up to 3 months

FOR THE CHICKEN:

Butterfly the chicken. Use a very sharp knife to cut along the back bone. Lightly chop the breast bone and spread the chicken flat.
Note: To remove the entire backbone, cut through the other side of the back bone. Reserve it for soup or for making broth.
Lay the chicken flat on a 1/2 sheetpan lined with parchment paper.
Use half of the olive oil to coat the chicken all over.
Use two tablespoons of the dry rub to season the chicken all over. Pat the rub into the chicken. Coat the chicken with the remaining olive oil.
Bake/roast the chicken for 40 to 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 to 175 degrees.
Remove the chicken and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Cut into your desired serving size.
Serve with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy.
