Spatchcock . . . where are the wings?

May 2014 in Poultry

I brined a full chicken on THURS for 12 hours, let it sit in the fridge overnight, and grilled it raised direct last night. Always money - could be my favorite thing on the egg.

Funny story . . . I always check my spatchcocks after 45 mins with my Thermopen. Wings are normally done at this point, so 99% of the time I yank them off the grill and eat them outside! I have even done this with a thigh before. Last night my wife called me out and said . . . . Do spatchcocks have wings? "where are they? BUSTED.

Anybody else pull spatchcock parts early?

That seems a lot like my infrequent trips to McDonalds. There always seem to be less fries in everyone's bag then when they get them at the store.

This is a slippery slope...pretty soon the rest of my family will be getting served 1 drumstick and a half eaten breast to share!

Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Now that's funny! Busted indeed!

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I leave them on to protect the breast. Learned this in a knife class I took.

You should have told her "of course spatchcock chickens don't have wings."

Busted indeed. If you don't flatten the keel bone, you can get them a few minutes earlier.
