In a bowl, add the herb mixture and olive oil.
Take the whole chicken, cut in half along the breastbone, and remove the central bone. Flatten the chicken well with a meat tenderizer. Brush with the mixture, spreading it both on the skin and inside.
Cook it in a pan over low heat, placing a weight on top for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn it over and cook for another 20 minutes, ensuring the weight presses the chicken well into the bottom of the pan.
Once cooked, a nice golden crust will form.
