Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place the salt and garlic in a mortar and crush with pestle until a paste forms. (You can do this in a bowl using the back of a sturdy spoon also).
Step 2
Mix in the oil, pepper and rosemary and set aside.
Step 3
Butterfly the chicken: Place the whole chicken, breast side down on a work surface.
Step 4
With a sharp knife cut along both sides of the back bone remove and discard.
Step 5
Rub the entire chicken with the garlic-rosemary mixture.
Step 6
Flip the chicken over and press it down on a platter; refrigerate at least one hour before baking it.
Step 7
Fit a baking pan with a metal rack so chicken will not sit in the juices and place the chicken breast side up atop the baking rack.
Step 8
Cover loosely with foil and bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven until cooked through, and no longer pink in the middle, about 1 hour.
Step 9
Remove the foil and bake uncovered until cooked through, juices will run clear when poked with a fork, approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
