Spatchcock, high heat, cast iron, an onion and whatever fresh herbs suit your fancy. (And in my case, get over your normal aversion to using non-renewable resources, and use a small piece of aluminum foil to protect the breast during the last 20 minutes in the oven.) Thanks for asking. ;o) P.S. For more information: https://food52.com/recipes/19677-spatchcocked-roast-chicken-with-onions-brats-and-herbs (Brats are totally optional. Celery and carrots or fennel also work well.)
