Spatchcock Chicken Enchiladas

Flamethrower

Well tonite the wife wanted enchiladas, I told her I would make her something special. She has a bad cold and is miserable and I just had shoulder surgery 2 months ago,So we are quit the pair right now.Bought a 5# chicken and Spatchcocked it,Seasoned exterior with no injection.Got the XLBGE warmed up to 350 with a raised grid. Sauted onions and made the Chile Verde sauce.Pulled the chicken at 1 hr.and it was perfect thanks to the Thermopen. Pulled the chicken hot with my gloves and mixed into the sauce. Rolled the enchiladas and covered with cheese,green onions and olives. Upped the heat to 400 and couldve done 450 to finish it off.Pics are of cooking and not pulling,Hard to do with 1 arm and take pics at the same time. She was very HAPPY with the results. Question, How hot does it have to get at dome temp to brown the top if possible

To Ragtop, tomatillos, onions,jalepenos all are roasted before being put in the blender, Salt and pepper to taste, Fairly easy

Thanks, Mickey!  Of all of the places I've been... I have never been to Texas.   :O Crazy, I know!

We are trying to get to Austin this Spring.  St. Patty's Day Texas Style doesn't sound like a bad idea!

We are 45 miles from Austin. www.saladoeggheadgathering.blogspot.com
We will have about a dozen Eggheads dressed in kilts that day.

Gary I would like to pass on this info that all good Catholic girls learn so you can apply it in Salado. Do not have on “glossy” pumps with your kilt<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
