How to cook deliciously - Baked Chimichurri Chicken

1. Stage

Combine parsley, 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, oregano, vinegar, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a medium bowl; mix chimichurri thoroughly.

2. Stage

Place chicken on a cutting board and remove backbone using kitchen shears. Press down on the breast with the heel of your hand to flatten. Loosen skin carefully and rub chimichurri underneath, distributing it evenly. Wrap chicken in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.

3. Stage

Allow chicken to come to room temperature for no more than 1 hour before baking.

4. Stage

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

5. Stage

Rub 1 teaspoon olive oil over chicken; season with salt and pepper. Place onion in a cast iron skillet. Pour chicken broth over onion. Place seasoned chicken on top.

6. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow chicken to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
