Honey mustard and garlic spatchcock chicken with sweet potato and mint mash
Spatchcock chicken takes far less cooking time than a regular whole roast chicken so don’t be alarmed! If you are a little bit squeamish about opening up a chicken this way then get your butcher to do it for you, who I am sure will happily oblige. However it is great practice to be able to do it yourself.
