Spatchedcock chicken and mustard

eggo

The chicken is in the fridge, waiting to be cooked tonight. Was planning to use evoo before the rub. But was wondering how mustard would work on chicken. Anybody ever used mustard? How does it turn out. I do know it worked great on BB's.

Never heard of anybody doing it with chicken, but try it and let us know.

I have found (for me) the less wet you put on that chicken the better the skin. I do not use oil, just the rub. I also cook high in the dome and direct. I just like the skin that way.

I have two chickens. Thinking I might try it on one. Anybody else? Am I going to ruin it?

Go to Grilling.com and click on the "Food" tab at the top.  About half way down the page is an awesome recipe for mustard chicken.  I did it yesterday on my spatchcock and it was great.  Follow the directions to the T

Thanks for that site. Looks great. I don't have all the ingredients for that so will save for another cook.

Well I did try the mustard on one and evoo on the other plus the rub. Both turned out excellent. I believe the mustard gave it a golden look buth the taste was similar. I have pics and will post when I figure out how. I posted pics once before but can't remember what I did.
