Spatch time?

I've done a couple of 6-8lb chickens spatchcock in the oven and have decided its time to see what it's like in the egg with some smoke flavor...so I bought a 6lb one for dinner tomorrow night, and a 2.5lb one for lunch/experiment. The 6lb one, I expect would take around an hour at 450F. Any idea how long the 2.5lb one will take in the egg around 450? I plan to go raised, indirect (platesetter), and put a catch pan with some water, onions, celery, and carrots under it on the main/lower grid.

Are you for real? You've been part of this forum since 2011 and you've been cooking spatch's in the oven. Also, where in the world did you get a 2.5lb chicken?Steven

Direct and raised like a boss! 450 seems high, try 350-375

I agree 450 will burn the wings and legs off.

^^^^ what they said, I do mine raised indirect at 385 max , they turn out great, and its done when the thermapen says so , typically an hour.

This 2.5lb. one was a young organic chicken.
As for the temp, I haven't had any trouble with the wings burning doing them in the oven at 450F...though in the oven, they're on a rack half an inch away from the sheet of water and vegetables. Wonder if that makes a difference? -
I put it on at 300F, and over the course of the 45 minute cook, let it get up to about 375F. When the breast hit 138F (kind of late) I flipped it skin side down. It turned out really good. The cooking time/temp was a little short for the veggies...but the chicken is great.

I do a lot of spatchcock at 425-450 indirect. Your temp idea is pretty spot on for the way I do chicken. I'm doing one tonight and will raised direct at 425-450 for 30 mins or so skin down until I get a lil char then I will flip. Works good with this particular flavor or the chicken.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini. Henderson, Ky.
