ROASTED CHICKEN, POTATOES, & ASPARAGUS

This quick-prep dinner is easy and often sought after in our household hope you enjoy. it.

Spatchcock* a chicken by cutting out the spine with poultry scissors. Once you have cut out the spine (we save it in the freezer for the next time we make chicken soup) simply season both sides with salt pepper garlic powder and paprika place on a cookie sheet skin side up and bake uncovered at 375 for about 1 hour until an internal temp of 165 is reached. This method is great for Smoking chicken as well and pairs well with apple and cherry wood.

The Potatoes are rinsed and scrubbed placed in another cookie sheet add some oil, I prefer Avocado Oil but any will do. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika mix and place in the same oven as chicken for about 1 hour or until fork-tender.

Asparagus is the easiest. Do this step a half-hour after placing potatoes in the oven. Trim off bottom 1 -1.5 inch of stem rinse with cold water sprinkle some oil and salt on it mix well then move the potatoes to one side of the cookie sheet and spread evenly return to oven and bake for 15 min at 375 degrees.

*A spatchcock, otherwise known as "spattlecock", is poultry or game that has been prepared for roasting or grilling by removing the backbone, and sometimes the sternum of the bird and flattening it out before cooking. The preparation of a bird in such a manner for cooking may also be known as butterflying the bird.)
