This is after 15mins in the skillet. I'll be adding veggies shortly. Sorry for the funky pics but that is under my new Weber Light on the small.

Nice looking yard bird. Do you get any pan juice? Gravy and chicken are a good combo.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Nice, onions didnt render as much as I thought they would.Jacksonville FL

@skiddymarker - there is a little pan juice, I would say maybe 1/2cup.
@dobie - the veggies were very tender. But I hear ya. I'm thinkin a size bigger skillet would work better. That way not so much stackin the veggies and get them all in the chicken fat. The 10" is the biggest skillet I have.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky. -

I got a 12 inch skillet and have been thinking about this for a while. Will put on my to do list for sure. Nice cookJacksonville FL -
I'm getting hungry for chicken.

@Mattman3969 ... okay, it's been at least a couple of hours since the chicken was taken out of the egg. Did you notice any difference from previous cooks with a constipated chicken?
Took me awhile to understand why it was a "splayed" chicken ... that makes a lot of sense to get the thighs up to temp. Is cutting the inner thigh skin the only adjustment? Hmmm ... I've got a metric skillet ... 270 mm ... okay, that's only 10-5/8", but worth trying. Thanks for the pics.
Mine was spatchcocked last night ... hour and a half at 375 ... let the fire burn for an extra half hour before starting the cook ... lighter smoke seemed to be the result. Finished the left overs tonight.

Actually I didn't notice any difference in cook time. Both ways run right at 1hr. I didn't think I got as much herb and citrus concentration in meat by leaving the cavity open but that may be due to my herbs being pretty spent and the selection being low. Either way produces a great yard bird.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.

Wow, the BGE forum search function actually worked this time ... amazing.
Found a post by @nolaegghead referencing this write-up on the splayed chicken:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/09/dining/a-new-breed-of-roast-chicken-cast-iron-seared.html?_r=5&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1417963960-mWdd5HCM7tUJ2Rn3AxhXyQ
And now I understand why a 10" skillet and a big bird might be a tight squeeze. Hmmm ... wonder what my butcher will think when he sees me with my CI skillet in hand checking to see which bird fits.

@jeepster47 - mine was about 4 1/4lbs. I went heavy on the veggies cause we had an extra mouth to feed last night so that didn't help matters any. Generally with a smaller bird and veggies for 2 room is tight but doable in my 10" skillet. I'm still gonna get a 12" just because.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.
