Tonight's Spatchcock Dinner

Well I finally took the plunge and made a chicken on my egg and it was worth it. OK I know I need to say it "We ate Spatchcock Chicken!!". Man who invented that word. I saw the definitions on the Naked Whiz'z web site but come on how many of you walk around saying I ate Spatchcock? As everyone on this forum is aware of the meaning there really is no problem but too tell you the truth I think I will just call it BGE chicken to those that do not know the real meaning. This way all I need do is explain what BGE means instead of getting funny looks. OK time for pictures:[p]My 4.5 lb. chicken is at room temperature, rubbed with McCormick's Montreal Roasted Garlic Chicken seasoning.[p]28b7ee8b.jpg[p][p]I didn't want the dome temperatur to cool down from the 350 deg I had set, so I just threw in my mesquite wood chips and put the BGE chicken on the upper rack closed the dome and sat down watched the smoke rise.[p]28d3cdb3.jpg[p][p]Here it is all set to come off of the grill 1.5 hrs. later[p]9f5b0f6d.jpg[p][p]This was the hard part! Letting it sit there for a few minutes before cutting it up.[p]385823a2.jpg[p][p]If I thought the last part was hard what the h-ll am I doing taking pictures when I should be eating. [p]9ec64176.jpg[p][p]Now here is the best news of all for all you folks in BGE land. Tomorrow is pasta night so there will be no posting from me tomorrow (unless I think of another question). So everyone have a great weekend and enjoy the race tomorrow.

Everyday is Saturday and tomorrow is always Sunday.

  • Retired RailRoader,[p]How was that roasted garlic seasoning? I'm gonna have to try it. How was the mesquite smoke? Think I'm not going to use chips/chunks at all next time.[p]Looks great![p]J
  • eggecutioner,
    The roasted garlic was a hit and I will do it again but I do want to try your lemmon pepper chicken. Mesquite is good with chicken in my opinion. I always used it when I made a rotisserie chicken on my Ducane gas grill and my family likes it. It is not as smokey as hickory I think it's just enough.
