Quick & Easy Sunday Dinner : BBQ Marinated Spatchcocked Chicken with Sautéed Green Beans Recipe
Sunday dinners have been one of the things that have helped me create a sense of normalcy during these very abnormal times. If you’ve been following along with my IG stories, a typical Sunday for me includes streaming my church’s Sunday service, a trip to the farmer’s market, and then bringing said ingredients from the farmer’s market home and creating a meal.
This past Sunday, I felt like having roast chicken but wanted to liven it up a little, so I decided to try out this new JL Kraft BBQ Marinade in a Bag (gifted by Influenster). I knew I wouldn’t be able to fit the whole chicken in the bag while it was fully intact, so I decided to spatchcock it. (see video here). After spatchcocking the chicken, I put the chicken in the marinade bag, added some lemons and fresh thyme, and then let it marinate in the refrigerator for an hour. Fast forward, I cooked the chicken in the oven on a cast iron grill pan and 45 minutes later, I had the juiciest and most flavorful chicken! I literally said “wow this is so good!” out loud while standing in my kitchen by myself. I paired it with some sautéed green beans and it was the perfect summer Sunday dinner with very minimal clean up!
