Flattening a whole chicken (a technique called spatchcocking) helps to put this roasted chicken dinner on the table in a hour, while wrapping the bird in salty prosciutto imparts irresistible flavor.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
Salt and pepper
1 large firm apple, such as Fuji, cored and cut into 8 wedges
1 bulb fennel (about 1 pound), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 bunch leeks (about 3), white and light-green parts, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices, cleaned
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
10 to 15 fresh sage leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Remove backbone from chicken. Flip chicken breast side up. Press firmly on the breastbone to flatten. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss together apple, fennel, leeks, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Scatter around chicken. Cover chicken with prosciutto, overlapping slices and tucking edges underneath. Toss sage leaves with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and scatter on top. Roast until prosciutto is crisp, chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees), and vegetables are tender and golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Loosely tent chicken with foil, and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into pieces.
