What is the best temperature to roast a spatchcock chicken?
From your own personal experience, what was the best temperature and time it took to roast a whole chicken in the oven? Im doing a spatchcock. I want to know what temperature worked best for you to obtain the best result.
Thanks!

I use a fairly high heat of 500F (260C) to render fat and crisp skin (after chicken has been air drying in the refrigerator overnight). Most of the time, for me, a whole chicken takes about an hour and 15 minutes. Depending on size, a spatchcocked bird will take about an hour. Use a thermometer to gauge your preferred doneness.

Roast the chicken until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 40 minutes.What temperature is best for roasting a chicken?
You can roast or bake anywhere between 325 and 450 degrees F. When roasting a whole chicken, a nice rule of them is to start at 400 to 425 degrees F and then turn the oven down to 350 after 15 minutes and cook until the internal temp of the chicken is 165 \u2013 175 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.Do you cook Spatchcock chicken skin side up or down?
Place the chicken skin-side up on the indirect side of the grill with the legs facing the hotter side. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone) reads 150 to 160 degrees F (almost cooked through), about 50 minutes.Do you flip Spatchcock chicken when cooking?
If you'll be grilling a whole chicken over charcoal: begin cooking the dry-rubbed, spatchcocked whole chicken over direct heat (the warmest part of the grill) to give the skin a lovely char. After a few minutes, flip and move the chicken so that it finishes cooking over indirect heat.The Food Lab: How to Roast Spatchcock Chicken (Butterflied Chicken)

Answer 2
I just roasted a spatchcock chicken from Trader Joe's at 425F for 1 hour and 15 minutes on the middle rack.
The marinade in the chicken package (which you do not rinse), and basting several times, helped with browning. A convection oven would probably help as well.

Cook in the centre of a 200c oven for 75 mins uncovered and cover with foil and rest for 20 mins.
