Ingredients
-
1 Whole Chicken
-
6-8 Ounces Pesto Sauce
-
Tony’s Spice N’ Herbs Seasoning, to Taste
-
1 Lemon
-
1/2 Tablespoon Red Pepper Flakes
-
1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil

Chopped Cilantro or Basil for Garnish

Directions
- Butterfly the chicken by removing its rib bone and pressing down on the breasts until the chicken flattens.
- Pour pesto sauce from the jar and into a bowl. Stir in the olive oil.
- Generously season the chicken on both sides and under the skin with Tony’s Spice N’ Herbs.
- Flip chicken so it is skin-side down. Using a bristle basting or pastry brush, coat the chicken in the pesto sauce. Turn the chicken skin-side up and continue to coat the chicken, and under the skin.
- Cook the chicken in the oven at 425°F for 35-45 minutes, then at 450°F for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and skin is crispy.
- Remove the chicken from the oven, squeeze with fresh lemon juice, garnish with chopped herbs, serve and enjoy!
