Credit to this goes to Jamie, Kai’s mom. She showed me how to do this when Fumiko was born.

1 whole chicken
¼ cube butter, softened
garlic salt*
paprika
mrs. dash
smoked spanish paprika
aluminum foil
baking sheet

Preheat your oven to 420°. Cover your baking sheet with aluminum foil. So what you want to do is take some heavy kitchen sheers and cut the spine out of the chicken. Rinse it off and pat dry with paper towels. Now you want to take part of your butter and rub it all over the under side of the chicken. Now sprinkle your seasonings on liberally. I like to sprinkle on the mrs. dash, smoked spanish paprika, paprika and garlic salt in that order. Now you want to lay your chicken on the baking sheet with the seasoned under side down. Now you can butter and season the other side of the chicken. See the picture below on how it should be layed out on the baking sheet.

Bake miss chicken for 1 hour at 420°. You shall have a juice mouthwatering chicken with crisp skin. SO delish. Om nom nom. You can change the seasonings up a bit, but everyone loves this combination so that is what I always use. We eat it over Japanese rice.

* I use the garlic salt from Costco. It’s made with natural sea salt and doesn’t have any junk in it.
