SPICY GRILLED BUTTERFLIED CHICKEN WITH CRISPY BREAD
I once had a similar dish at one of my favorite Los Angeles restaurants, Republique. They cook their chicken over an open fire, rotisserie-style, so I tried to recreate that at home on my grill. A whole chicken is slathered in spices, then grilled until tender and super moist. It's finished with a squeeze of grilled lemon to brighten it up. I serve it over crunchy grilled bread to sop up all of the delicious juices.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to 375 degrees F. Clean and oil the grates.
- To butterfly the chicken, use strong kitchen shears or poultry shears and cut down either side of the backbone. Pull out the backbone, turn the chicken over and press down on the breast of the chicken to flatten it out to one thickness.
- Place the butterflied chicken onto a rimmed baking sheet and lightly drizzle with grapeseed oil.
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, cumin, garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle over the chicken, rubbing it in until every part is coated. Carefully lift the skin from the breasts and sprinkle some of the spice mixture directly on the meat as well.
- Place the chicken breast-side down on the grill, close the lid and grill for 15 minutes. Flip the chicken, close the lid and grill until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into 6 pieces (cut the breasts in half).
- While the chicken rests, drizzle both sides of the bread halves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, flipping halfway, until crispy and charred, 5 to 6 minutes. Grill the lemons cut-side down until charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Slice the bread into 3-inch pieces.
- Pile up the grilled bread on a large platter followed by the chicken pieces and lemon halves. Sprinkle with the scallions and parsley. Serve.
BUTTERFLIED ROAST CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND ROSEMARY
Want to cook whole chicken quicker and more evenly? Remove the backbone with a knife or kitchen scissors to flatten the chicken. The breast meat doesn't dry out, the dark meat is tender and juicy, and there's lots of crispy golden skin to enjoy. Here, it's simply roasted with lemon and rosemary, but butterflied chicken is especially good on the grill.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil. Place a rack on top of foil.
- Rub olive oil on both sides of chicken and generously season with salt and black pepper. Arrange lemon slices and rosemary on the rack and place chicken, skin-side up, onto the rack.
- Roast in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 45 to 55 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Transfer chicken to a serving platter and tent a piece of aluminum foil over it. Discard lemon and rosemary and remove rack.
- Pour wine into the baking pan and gently loosen the bits of food in the pan with a wooden spoon, being careful not to tear the foil. Strain pan juices into a saucepan and bring to a boil; cook until sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken.

BUTTERFLIED CHICKEN WITH CRACKED SPICES
Somewhere in "The Zuni Cafe Cookbook" is a recipe for a standing rib roast of pork with variations. I'm sure of that. I'm less sure, because I can't find it online, that the book gives a variation that calls for rubbing the meat with fennel and coriander seeds, among other spices. I wanted to try some version of that on a chicken and came up with the idea of grafting those seasonings, as I remembered them, onto a classic Marcella Hazan recipe for chicken alla diavola. Hazan has you butterfly the chicken and rub it with cracked black pepper before grilling or broiling it. Just by faking and misremembering, I stumbled on a weeknight dinner that's faster than roast chicken and fragrant with mysteriously harmonious spices. It may not be the devil's chicken, but it could be the work of one of his minor demons.

Steps:
- Light a grill or set your broiler on high and give it a 15-minute head start.
- Butterfly (or spatchcock) the chicken: Cut out the chicken's backbone with poultry shears, a cleaver or a sharp, heavy chef's knife (or ask a butcher to do this). If you think you will make stock at some point, by all means tightly wrap the backbone in plastic and put it in the freezer. Place the chicken skin side up in a roasting pan and press firmly on the breast with the heels of your hands until it cracks and flattens. Position the legs so they lie flat and the drumsticks point out. Tuck the wingtips over the tops of the wings to hold them in place, or cut them off. Rub the bird with the oil. (Don't worry about any extra oil that may fall onto the pan.) Now wash your hands.
- Coarsely grind the fennel, coriander, peppercorns and cumin with a mortar and pestle or with 8 or 9 pulses in a spice grinder. Mix in the salt and paprika or pimentón and sprinkle this rub on both sides of the bird, with the emphasis on the skin.
- Set the chicken skin side down on a grill or skin side up on a broiler rack positioned so the highest point of the bird is about 10 inches from the flame. When the skin begins to brown after 6 or 7 minutes, flip the chicken over. (The easiest way is to grab the knobby ends of both drumsticks with several layers of paper towels if you are in the kitchen, or with clean oven mitts if you are grilling.)
- After about 10 minutes, when the bony side is browned, lower the heat to medium-high (400 if you're using an oven), flip the chicken again and cook another 10 minutes, or until the skin is very crisp and brown and the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 degrees when checked with a meat thermometer. Let it rest about 5 minutes before carving. (If you are grilling, set it on a platter.)
- Spoon any juices that have collected in the broiler pan or the platter over the chicken. Serve with lemon. In springtime, try to serve this with tender young bitter greens - like arugula, watercress or baby dandelions - tossed in a sharp vinaigrette.

BUTTERFLIED CHICKEN WITH THYME, LEMON AND GARLIC
Steps:
- Whisk together the oil, 2 tablespoons of the garlic, 2 tablespoons of the thyme, 1 tablespoon of the lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of onion in a large baking dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat in the oil. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down and slowly grill until the fat renders and the skin becomes golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. Turn the chicken over, close the cover and continue grilling until just cooked through, about 20 minutes longer. Remove from the grill, loosely tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before cutting.
- Mix together the remaining garlic, thyme and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and sprinkle over the cut chicken.
