Happy new year everyone!! It's 2018 and it's time for fresh starts and getting our lives in order after the super indulgence of Christmas.
Who's excited?!
Will's birthday is on new years eve and for the past few years we've gone for breakfast and made plans for what we wanted to do in the coming year.
It's one of my favourite traditions partly because anything with Will is my favourite and partly because I am one of those people that loves resolutions and goals and all that jazz.
2017 was a great year for me. I left a job where I was really unhappy and started working somewhere that I love with people who make going to work fun and that has had such a huge impact on my life.
This year's goals are mostly about blogging. I've got lots of plans to grow the blog and to make loads of exciting recipes and extra stuff this year. I'm very excited.
We've also decided to go vegetarian during the week in January. So obviously today we got take out because the 1st of January is categorically not a real day. But from tomorrow we're cutting out meat on weekdays.
That means that on the weekends we're going to be making some fun and exciting meals to treat ourselves when we do have meat. This Asian roasted spatchcock chicken would definitely fall into that category.

How to cook a spatchcock chicken:
If you're not sure how to spatchcock a chicken then I used a tutorial here which I found really helpful. The chicken is rubbed with an amazing soy and miso glaze and it gets all sticky and so so so flavourful. Then you sear the spatchcocked chicken before putting in the oven.
Then the roasted chicken is served with a fresh and healthy noodle salad. Make this for a weekend dinner and serve it to your friends and family and they will love it!

I love the colour you have got on your chicken, that whole bitter sweet flavour that that caramalisation gives is my idea of heaven! In fact I am often found sneaking much of it away as chefs perks whilst dishing up dinner, only the bits that are too far gone of course 😉
Amy says
Haha, I'm exactly the same!
