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. Flip chicken breast-side up and flatten by pressing down firmly with both hands on breastbone and breasts until you hear a crack and chicken resembles one large flat section. (You can also ask the butcher where you shop to butterfly and flatten the chicken for you.)
