Warm oven to 400°. Prepare a 3 to 3 1/2lb chicken by removing the giblets and neck. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Spatchcock or butterfly the chicken by cutting along one side of the chicken's backbone. Open up the bird to lay flat in roasting pan. Cut along the other side to remove the backbone in its entirety.
Directions
Rub the chicken on all sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Combine and mix all spices together to create the rub. Sprinkle the chicken rub liberally until covered. Place in oven and cook for 50-75 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches a minimum of 165°F.
Notes
Optional: Place the chicken in a zip lock bag and set overnight in your refrigerator to marinate completely for 24 hours before baking.
