Spatchcocked, roasted, then served with a fresh salsa verde, this chicken is a flavor lifesaver. Juicy, crisp-skinned, and quick, you might never go back to regular chicken again.

Crispy, crunchy, tangy, and as spicy as you like, this slaw can work great as a zesty side dish or as a topping for tacos, burgers, sandwiches, and more.
