Cook Mode(Keep screen awake)
Ingredients
1(4 pound)whole chicken, giblets removed
¾teaspoonsalt, divided
2tablespoonspure maple syrup
1teaspoonancho chile powder
1teaspoontamarind paste or concentrate (see Tip) or lime juice
½teaspoongarlic powder
Directions
Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 475°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top; coat with cooking spray.
Thoroughly pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place breast-side down on a cutting board. Using kitchen shears, make a long cut along both sides of the backbone and remove it. Flip the chicken over. Using the heels of both hands, firmly press down on each breast to flatten the chicken as much as possible.
Loosen the skin over the breast and thigh meat and season under it with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon salt over the skin. Transfer the chicken to the prepared rack, breast-side up.
Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast registers 155°F, 45 to 55 minutes.
Whisk maple syrup, chile powder, tamarind (or lime juice) and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush the chicken with the mixture. Continue roasting until the chicken reaches 165° and the glaze sets, about 5 minutes more. Let stand for 10 minutes before carving.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
