How to Make Butterfly Chicken Recipe

About:

Butterfly chicken is a technique of flattening a whole chicken by removing the backbone and then spreading the breastbone open. This makes the chicken cook more evenly and quickly, and also allows for more flavorful seasonings to be applied.

Butterfly chicken is a delicious and easy way to cook a whole chicken. I also added potatoes as a side dish which is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Hope you enjoy this recipe!
