How to spatchcock a chicken

Posted in Recipes/Cooking, Video at 11:19 am by LeisureGuy

So long as we’re talking about hot-weather cooking, putting the heat outside (by using a grill) is a good thought. Here’s a video that shows exactly how to spatchcock a chicken to prepare it for grilling. I actually had to watch it multiple times to get it right—for example, I was trying to run my finger along the breastbone in the wrong direction. But I got it finally, and now I always prepare my chicken like this, even for roasting in the oven (generally after marinating the spatchcocked chicken).

If cooking appeals to you, you might enjoy Leisureguy’s Cooking Compendium: Cooking Deconstructed. For $2, you get a load of information.

    That was wonderful…I’ve bookmarked it and will use it this holiday weekend on the BBQ.
    Thanks,

    After you’ve done a chicken a few time you’ll be ready to step up to a turkey…
