Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the spatchcocked half chicken with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Place the chicken skin-side up on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    While the chicken is roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Mushrooms and Marsala

    Add the sliced wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until softened. Pour in the Marsala wine and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce for about 5 minutes, then stir in the chopped thyme.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken is done roasting, let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken with the mushroom Marsala sauce drizzled on top.
