My Meat Man

This is for someone who wants a proper shared chicken meal without the effort.

Butterflied chicken is one of the best formats for cooking a whole bird — the flattened shape means faster, more even cooking, crispier skin all over and better marinade penetration throughout.

We've done the butterflying and the marinating for you. The sweet garlic and herb marinade is balanced and crowd-pleasing — aromatic, slightly sweet and deeply savoury.

A whole chicken experience, made easy.

What makes this stand out

Butterflied (spatchcocked) chicken has real advantages over a standard whole chicken:

• cooks in roughly half the time of a whole roast chicken

• skin crisps evenly across the entire bird

• marinade penetrates more deeply into the meat

• easier to carve and serve

The sweet garlic and herb marinade adds:

• aromatic garlic depth that caramelises beautifully on high heat

• a balanced sweetness that complements the chicken without overpowering it

• fresh herb notes that lift the whole dish

The result is a complete, flavourful chicken dish with zero prep.

How to Cook

The key is: high heat for crispy skin, check temperature, rest properly

BBQ (Best Method)

Step 1 — Thaw

• Thaw fully in the fridge (allow 24 hours)

• Remove from packaging

Step 2 — Set up BBQ

• Set up for indirect heat (one side on, one side off)

• Preheat to medium-high (around 200°C)

Step 3 — Cook

• Place skin-side up on indirect heat

• Cook for 35–45 minutes

• Move to direct heat for the last 5–10 minutes to crisp the skin

Step 4 — Check doneness

• Internal temperature at the thickest part of the thigh: 75°C

• Juices should run clear

Step 5 — Rest

• Rest for 10 minutes before carving

Oven Method

• Preheat oven to 200°C

• Place skin-side up on a rack in a roasting tray

• Roast for 40–50 minutes until internal temp reaches 75°C

• Rest for 10 minutes before carving

Pro Tips

• Skin-side up throughout — this is how you get crispy skin

• A meat thermometer removes all guesswork

• Don't skip the rest — it keeps the meat juicy

• The marinade will caramelise on the skin — this is what you want

• Finish on direct heat for the last few minutes for extra colour and char

Serving Suggestions

• Carved at the table as a shared centrepiece

• Alongside roasted potatoes and a green salad

• With flatbreads, hummus and grilled vegetables

• Rice bowls with the carved meat and pan juices

Wine Pairing

Our friends at My Wine Man recommend pairing this sweet garlic & herb butterflied chicken with the 2025 Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc — a vibrant, crisp white with bright citrus and herbaceous notes that echo the garlic and herb marinade beautifully, cutting through the richness for a perfectly balanced pairing.
