When you want a roasted chicken, but are not sure how to season it. Try everything chicken.
No, not dill and maple syrup and curry and BBQ sauce everything. EVERYTHING BAGEL everything. Now I’ll explain how I came up with this.
About two weeks ago I was looking for new one moist chicken breast recipes. I saw many different recipes and tried to cook a lot of them. And I was most inspired by the ideas of butterflied roast chicken Jamie Oliver and Ina Garten Jeffrey’s roast chicken.
Before, I most often cooked sheet pan roasted chicken and vegetables or roasting a chicken in a Dutch oven. You have to admit, it’s very tasty, but still kind of boring. The most creative recipes that I made in my kitchen are sesame seed chicken and poppy seed chicken recipe.
Whole blue poppy seeds, sesame seeds, caraway works for a reason. It is tasty. If it works for a bagel it works for tender juicy baked whole chicken. Right? Right. This is where my ideas mixed, and a culinary masterpiece was born! That would be the type of logic I frequently use in the kitchen. It gets me in trouble sometimes, but other times it gets me this:
Hard to argue with.
I was afraid the seed flavors would just be on top of the chicken, but they really do permeate, no worse than herb de Provence roasted chicken so you can taste everything seed. Delicious.
I wanted to get this chicken done as quickly as possible, and I was able to get it done in 40 minutes by broiling it on either side before roasting it the rest of the way. So, I recommend reading the entire instructions before starting as there are a few heat settings. But, the meat is so juicy and tender. Even white meat is so much moist chicken breast that you can practically squeeze juice out of it.
The secret to getting the dark meat and breast meat done at the same time is the special way it is butterflied. The joint between the drumstick and thigh is cut a bit, as that is the part that takes the longest to cook. I never knew this trick until I watched butterflied roast chicken Jamie Oliver.
You can watch his instructions HERE. I even broiled than roasted the bird like he did, just used a fully different flavor profile. However, I did not cut off the ends of the drumsticks like he did.
You can roast chicken in convection oven or to cook whole chicken in air fryer. In any case, you’ll got really moist baked chicken breast.
So now its butterflied roast chicken cooking time. Lets go!
Everything Chicken Ingredients And Substitutions
Whole Chicken – I usually buy chilled free-range chicken. Free-range chicken is fed natural feed and grows in better conditions. Their meat is more flavorful and rich. Chilled chicken is not subjected to deep freezing, so it retains its natural texture and taste. Chilled chicken is not treated with phosphates or preservatives for long-term storage. This is the type of chicken that is used for San Fernando Roasted Chicken Lynnwood city. If you’re around, don’t miss the chance to visit – you’ll love it!
Onion powder – Onion powder helps create a more flavorful, aromatic crust when baking or frying. It caramelizes at high temperatures and enhances the taste of other spices.
Sesame seeds – Sesame seeds add crunch and a light nutty texture to the coating. They are rich in calcium and magnesium and contain healthy fatty acids beneficial for hair and skin.
Whole blue poppy seeds – needed for a light nutty flavor with hints of sweetness. They perfectly complement chicken, fish, and vegetables. Poppy seeds create a beautiful contrast in the coating. Whole blue poppy seeds are good for digestion and improve sleep quality. They are rich in calcium and phosphorus, as well as magnesium and iron. These minerals are essential for bones, the nervous system, and blood vessels.
Caraway seeds – have a spicy, slightly sweet flavor with hints of anise and dill. The main health benefits of caraway seeds are Boosting immunity, regulating blood sugar levels, and improving digestion. Fennel Seeds or anise seeds or celery seeds will be good substitute for caraway seeds.
Kosher salt – a coarse-grained salt without additives. It can be substituted with regular table salt, you should use less of it.
Refined avocado oil – we need oil with a high smoke point for roasting in the oven. It can be substitute with regular olive oil or refined coconut oil.

How to roast Butterflied chicken:
1.Butterfly the bird as instructed in the video link above. It is especially important to cut between the joints between the drumstick and thigh, this drastically reduced the overall cooking time.
2.Turn the broiler onto high. Put the bird skin side down on a broiler safe pan. Broil on top rack for about 10 minutes.
3.Remove the bird from the oven. Drizzle with a bit of oil and sprinkle with some of the seasoning mix. Flip the bird over, drizzle with more oil and coat with the rest of the seasoning.
4.Move rack to center position (so that the chicken will be a good 7″ away from the broiler) and turn the broiler to low. Put the bird back in the oven and broil for a few minutes until the skin is beautifully golden (should take about 10 minutes).
5.Turn off the broiler and set the oven to 350F(180C). Bake it for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Allow to rest out of the oven for 10-15 minutes before carving.
