Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Butterfly chicken by placing it breast side down and using heavy-duty kitchen shears to cut along both sides of the backbone. Discard backbone, turn chicken over and open it like a book. Press it gently to flatten it.
  2. Place chicken in a large freezer bag. Mix buttermilk, 1/4 cup oil, garlic, peppercorns, salt, rosemary and honey; add to chicken in bag. Seal the bag securely and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
  3. Heat oven to 400°. Remove chicken from marinade and place on a rack so excess can drip off. Linda a roasting pan with foil and place chicken in the pan. Drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp oil. Roast for 45 minutes, then reduce heat to 325°. Continue roasting until well browned and juices run clear when chicken is pierced where the leg meets the thigh, about another 20 minutes.
  4. Place chicken on a carving board and allow to rest for 10 minutes before cutting into quarters. Serve drizzled with pan juices.
