Another Spatchcock Chicken

Just a simple weeknight dinner. Spatchcock chicken dusted with a chicken mix by Myron Mixon cookbook. Its got a little bit of everything. Pulled the skin back from the breast in order to season the naked breast since I dont normally eat chicken skin. Uploaded from the Photobucket Android App Put on the top rung of the A/R at 400 degrees direct with some Jack Daniels smoking chips. Uploaded from the Photobucket Android App Cooked 1 hour and the breast was 159 and thigh was 190 so I pulled it and took it inside to let it rest for a few minutes. The jack chips were a wonderful addition. I will never mess with a beer in the rear again as this is just as good and not near as messy. Uploaded from the Photobucket Android App

    Looks tasty. What's the white powder around the raw chicken? Corn starch for crisp?

    @RAC Thanks @JC ThanksYes it is cornstarch, didn't have time to leave it uncovered so I tried cornstarch. It worked pretty well.

    The skin looks good.  I've been meaning to try the cornstarch myself.  Next time . . .

    @Bisket_Fanatic - glad you found your way over here. You are going to find it is much busier than the other forum.

    I was going to do a very similar cook to yours last night, but the store was out of whole chickens, so I went with quarters. 400 Direct, raised with Dack Janiels wood chips, just used a different rub than you. Good minds think alike. Your bird looks like it came out perfectly. Nicely done.

    @Griffin - thanks decided to sign up since the other was closing. I always keep a couple of fryers in the freezer. Not good when the store runs out of chickens. Just started using those JD chips and really like them.

    I haven't used those chips in years. Saw them somewhere and was shocked at how much they wanted, the next day saw them somewhere else for $2 a bag...SOLD!
