Press down on the chicken until you hear a cracking sound. This is the sound of the breast bone breaking which allows the chicken to lay flat.
Turn the chicken over so that it is now breast side up and flatten completely.
Add the juice of limes and oranges to the bottom of the roasting dish, followed by the broth. Place all citrus rinds on the roasting tack, then place the chicken on top, breast side up. Tuck the wings under the breasts.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, and lemon pepper seasoning. Pour mixture over the chicken and massage evenly to cover every surface. Generously season the chicken with kosher salt.
Roast at 425° for 40-45 minutes or until the internal temperature is 155° (chicken continues to cook during the resting process). Start checking the temperature after 30 minutes as every oven is different
Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Pour half of the juice from the bottom of the roasting rack over chicken. Transfer the other half of the juices to a bowl for dipping. Enjoy!
