  • Pan Roasted Chicken:
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Rub reserved lemon and garlic seasoning mixture evenly over chicken skin. To Butterfly Chicken : Place chicken breast-side down on large cutting board. Using poultry shears or kitchen scissors, cut along both sides of backbone to remove it. Discard backbone.
