Spatchcock chicken fajitas with creamy poblano sauce and Mexican rice

Gotta make this snappy. The title says it all.
Groceries:
Veggies. First run with a cast iron pizza pan I found at HEB. Makes a great comal/griddle for the large.
Creamy poblano sauce. Not enough heat, so I had to add extra Thai chiles and another cherry chile (or something like that).
The bird. Skinless, Julio's seasoning, AR with rig extender.
Poorly composed plated shot. Caliprince's bath time was rapidly approaching.
Its been a while since I made a spatched bird. This was the first time doing one higher in the dome with the AR rig extender, first time using Julio's seasoning - @Mickey loves that stuff, now I do too. The chicken was fantastic, definitely must repeat this. Cut up the breast for dinner tonight, the thighs and legs will be lunch over the next few days. The poblano sauce was damn good too - roasted poblano, chiles, roasted garlic, Fage, cilantro, and cotija cheese. Also made the pickled onions posted a few days ago (my apologies to whoever posted the recipe - I would love to give you credit for it). The Mexican rice was loosely based off of an internet recipe (cooked on the stove) and was remarkably similar to an Indian rice dish I make for potlucks.

Julio's is outstanding. We use it all the time. If you have an HEB try their branded Mexican Rice sauce.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Outstanding!
I egged some fajitas (beef) tonight. They turned out delicious. No pictures, sadly. But I could take some of the leftovers just to prove it happened.

Looks delish! Love the poblano sauce. Now I'm hungry. Looks like I'll be roasting some poblanos to make that sauce.

Thst is awesome. Is the poblano sauce a recipe or did you just throw it together?Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Looks great. I'm in love with double oaked.It looks like you scored the breasts on the bird? Do you just do the skin, or did you go into the meat as well?Large and Small BGECentral, IL

Nice. One of my favorite things about spatchcock chicken is using the leftovers the next day for fajitas. Great flavor. May have to give your sauce a try.

Muy Bueno. Thanks for sharing.

@Springram - hey now! Give me some credit I taught momma how to bathe the kid the first week. I mentioned it now because momma had to be fed, so SHE could go bathe him!@SmokeyPitt - both. Browsed a few recipes then figured out what I wanted it to be like. I routinely sub Fage in place of sour cream, and have never been disappointed. The recipe was roughly:1 poblano pepper, roastedSeveral garlic cloves, roasted4 Thai chiles1 tsp salt (or to taste)1 tsp (sugar)1/2 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama Hot (I put it in everything)1 cup cilantro2 avocados1/2 - 1 cup cotija cheese4-5 TBSP Fage yogurtThrow everything in the food processor and puree/blend the cr@p out of it. Let it sit for 30mins or so for everything to get friendly.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

That's a good idea, never thought of scoring a bird before.
