Skillet-Roasted Lemon Chicken Recipe by The Hungry Hutch

This skillet-roasted chicken recipe is my version of an Ina Garten recipe that I’ve made over and over again. The key to this recipe is that it requires you to spatchcock the chicken (remove the backbone) to flatten it out before cooking. The main benefit spatchcocking (or butterflying) the chicken is that it speeds up the cooking time dramatically. This roasted chicken recipe comes out perfectly juicy, and the lemon and onion slices meld with the natural chicken juices to form a delicious pan sauce to serve with the meat.

Aaron Hutcherson—a.k.a. “Hutch”—grew up in the Midwest, but has called New York City home for nearly a decade. He left the world of finance to pursue a full time career in food when he graduated from The French Culinary Institute in 2012. Since then he has gained professional experience with testing and developing recipes, food styling, writing/editing, food photography, and more. When he isn’t in the kitchen developing a new creation or working on his blog, most of his free time is spent watching trashy reality television with a glass of whiskey or wine.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
