Herb Mayo Spatchcock Roast Chicken with Light Herb Sauce

Recipe by J. Kenji López-Alt

A juicy, flavorful whole chicken that’s spatchcocked, slathered in a herb‑infused mayonnaise, and roasted at high heat for a crispy skin. A simple light sauce made from the pan drippings, stock, lemon, soy sauce, and butter finishes the dish. The predictive thermometer guarantees perfect doneness without brining.
