Grilled Spatchcock Chicken
Ingredients
1 whole rotisserie chicken
dry rub
basting sauce such as bbq
Directions
Place your chicken breast side down so thighs and wings are upright.
Cut the chicken from thigh to wing on both sides of the neck bone.
Remove the neck bone and either reserve for stock (Always) or throw away
(each to there own on food waster) Flip over and press down until you here a
crack or 3 as you break the rib bones. Don't worry he or she is dead and
it wasn't your fault. However, if it was your fault, I am jealous, I don't raise my
own chickens.
For the squeemish, your butcher will do this if asked.
Even at the supermarket. Now. Gently pull the skin away from the meat to get
to the breast meat and then to the leg quarters. Dry rub the meat underneath
the skin to get that flavor in the meat. Once you finish that, rub the skin down
as well and place either in a baking pan for the oven, a baking sheet for the
grill or just place on the grill. If baking in the oven , bake at 350* and hour.
Remove slather with sauce and bake another 30 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and the juices from the chicken run clear. Size of bird depicts exact cooking time. If wanting to grill in indirect heat which is how I started out. I placed Chopped potatoes and onions on greased aluminum foil covered baking sheet and heated the grill up and cooked it like this about 40 minutes. Removed the chicken to the grill itself and placed the onions and potatoes on an olive oil coated piece of aluminum foil that are now almost all the way cooked to wait until chicken is almost done. After about 20 minutes of cooking breast down flip over carefully to get grill marks. Wait 5 minutes and flip back over to finish cooking. Minding your grilling temperate to get no higher than 350* Slather on sauce about 10-15 minutes before finished cooking. and re enter your potatoes and onions to the grill at this time to heat and finish cooking. If grilling entirely follow the last instructions just mind your temperature and watch for flaming from grease . You don't want burnt chicken. 5-6 lb bird is usually about an hour to an hour and half increase time for the size of your bird.
