Ingredients
Scale
Spice Rub
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning (Old Bay)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated or brown sugar
Chicken and Cabbage
- 1 large green cabbage (around 3 pounds)
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 (3-3.5 pound) chicken, spatchcocked and patted dry
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Make the Spice Rub: Add all of the spice rub ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk together until well combined.
- Prep the Cabbage: Cut the cabbage into 4 large quarters. Then, cut the quarters in half, lengthwise. Leave the core in the cabbage to ensure that each of the pieces stay intact while roasting. Add the pieces to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Use your hands to toss the cabbage until it’s coated.
- Prep the Chicken: Flip the chicken over so it’s skin side down and then sprinkle half the spice rub over the cavity of the chicken. Use your hands to press the rub into the chicken. Flip the chicken over and place it on the parchment lined sheet pan. Drizzle olive oil all over the chicken skin and use your hands or a pastry brush to rub the oil into the chicken skin. Sprinkle the remaining spice rub onto the chicken and use your hands to press it into the chicken.
- Arrange the cut pieces of cabbage around the chicken in an even layer and then place the sheet pan in the oven.
- Roast the chicken and cabbage at 425 degrees for 30-45 minutes, flipping the cabbage halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees when checked with a meat thermometer at the thickest part.
- Serve the chicken and cabbage with rice or roasted potatoes and enjoy!
