Not another spatchcock...

Yep, another ordinary spatchcock... I'm trying the salt in the drip pan trick from @Mickey to see how it helps with cleanup.
Montreal Chicken Seasoning for rub:
Got the small to temp with a small chunk of pecan. And it was 16* at startup time.
Bird went on, lighting or white balance, or both, was really weird.
And now there are decisions to be made...

Yep. So I took back her Christmas gift. Got a new jerky ripper -
OK, while the Ravens gave away the game... the chicken finished up and I pulled to let it finish while I did the sides.This had to be one of the most simple meals ever, but turned out pretty good.Wegman's naan:Corn from my sister's garden last summer that we have in the freezer:And I did some of that nuke in the bag broccoli. That by far was the low spot of the meal, kind of watery, etc. But what else to expect from a bag you take out of the freezer that spends 5 minutes in the magnetron.Very poor plated pic:Little guy approved:Now back to those decisions for the Panthers Seahawks game.They/Them

@DMW-props for the cook and the endorsement from "Little Guy.!"However, when deciding what to load into the adult beverage fridge I have always invoked the "Life is too short for light beer" mantra-Personal preference over a few years on the planet. Never been disappointed! FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Thanks guys. I did have one oddity with the skin. I had dried it overnight in the fridge, and for the most part had perfectly crisp skin.However, a circle of skin directly below the chimney was damp and rubbery. It almost seemed like it had been rained on, but there was no rain. You can kind of see it in the pic on the lower part of the breast skin.Any thoughts on the cause? I'm thinking that with the chicken being so close to the dome and the cold ambient temps, condensation of some sort gathered? I really have no idea and this is a stab in the dark.Also, pulled the drip pan out last night and set it out to cool. This morning I brought it in and the salt made cleanup so easy. The salt had absorbed all the drippings and I simply wrapped the edges of foil in and dropped the foil/salt/grease in the trash.It's kind of gross, so I won't embed the image, but the thumbnail is there if you want to see what it looked like.They/Them

Create looking spatch. I really like the montreal chicken seasoning. For a commercial rub I think it is really good.That is odd about the one piece of skin. My guess would be that the juice from the chicken simply puddled up there. Maybe it was the juice coming from the legs where they overlap a little.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Love that salt trick. Been doing that last couple of long cooks. Works great.
