Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the chicken breast-side down on a cutting board. Cut along both sides of the backbone with kitchen scissors and remove it. Flip the chicken over and press down firmly on the breastbone to flatten.
