Spatchcock Chicken with Mystery Rub

While the cheese was smoking, started thinking about dinner tonight. We were planning leftovers from this week, but SWMBO and I realized not enough for everyone. So needed something quick and easy. 
Spatchcock chicken to the rescue. This was an about 7lb bird. Did it raised direct at around 400*, took about 1 1/2 hrs. The rub was something I had made and put in the cupboard but not labeled. I have no idea what it was, but turned out great. Had potatoes in a pan below the bird, some of the best potatoes I have had. Seasoned with the rub and chicken fat dripping down. Chicken stock cooking down now.

    That looks great! I love doing a pan of potatoes under poultry. I've never made my own stock. Would you mind explaining a bit more about it? What did you start it with? The backbone and maybe wingtips?

    The stock was just the backbone, gibblets, celery and some salt/pepper with water covering it. Simmer it for a few hours, making sure to re add water if needed to keep it from burning. Let it cool, then strain it and the liquid is chicken stock. Freeze and it will last for quite awhile.
