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.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
