Ingredients
Scale
1 Whole chicken
3 tbsp grapeseed oil
6 tbsp unsalted butter
3 tbsp all-purpose seasoning
1½ tbsp black pepper
2 tbsp smoked paprika
4 thyme sprigs
5 garlic cloves
1 onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean and pat dry the whole chicken. Using kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone and remove it.
Press down on the chicken until it lays flat. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil over the inside, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose seasoning, and massage into the meat.
Flip the chicken breast side up, drizzle with remaining oil, and add the rest of the seasoning.
Gently separate the skin from the breasts; tuck in pieces of butter and any remaining seasoning.
Sprinkle thyme leaves over the chicken and place sliced onion medallions in a cast iron skillet.
Roast for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting every 15 minutes until golden brown.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with your favorite sides.
