Equipment
Instructions
- Save time in the kitchen: Read the instructions thoroughly, then gather and prep all your ingredients before cooking! Learn Prepping Tips.
- Set Oven: Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make Wet Rub: Combine in the Jamaican curry powder, scotch bonnet pepper sauce, garlic, ginger paste, thyme, parsley, lime, salt, ground black pepper, and olive oil in the food processor, and set aside.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the red onions, potatoes, carrots, red bell pepper, and Brussels sprouts with a quarter of the wet rub and set aside.
- Spatchcock the Chicken: Using kitchen shears or a sharp boning knife on a cutting board, start at the tail end of the chicken. Cut along one side of the backbone, going up towards the neck. Note: You may need to use some force to cut through bones.
- Be sure to stay as close to the backbone as possible. Then, repeat on the other side of the backbone to completely remove it. Once the backbone is removed, open the chicken up and lay it flat in the center of the sheet pan, skin side up.
- Press down on the breastbone with the heel of your hand to flatten the chicken further. You should hear a crack when it flattens.
- Season the Chicken: Place chicken on parchment paper layered sheet pan cavity side up, rub the season on, then flip, pat dry the chicken skin with a paper towel, and add some of the wet rub underneath the skin and on top completely.
- Finish the Tray: Place the vegetables around the chicken, spreading it out as evenly as possible.
- Cook the Chicken and Vegetables: Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce to 400 and bake until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit using a meat thermometer on the thickest part, about 30 to 40 minutes. Note: This may vary depending on the size of the chicken. Then remove the tray from the oven and place it in a warm area to rest; it will continue cooking to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, taking about 15 minutes before cutting.
- Plate Up: Plate up the vegetables first, then cut and place the chicken and drizzle some of the pan juice onto the dish.
