Anyone ever cut the backbone out of a smallish(3.25-3.50 lbs)chicken and cook at 500ish degrees in a pan(thinking about elevating it a bit)... Looking for a little insights.

thanks

    I sure have. Usually I'll go indirect at 425-450 with the bird in a CI skillet. You can toss some potatoes, carrots ect in the pan to roast up in the chicken juices as well. Usually when I'm doing a cook like this I'll go with standard "roast chicken" flavors but I'm sure any rubs you have on hand would work well. Also I'd recommend getting the bird as high up in the egg as possible. The radiant heat coming off of the ceramics in the dome really help to crisp up that skin.

    @Mattman3969 posted the first CI splayed chicken cook that I saw.  Search under "splayed chicken" for a number of posts describing this cook ... and variations of the basic setup.  Here's one of Matt's latest postings:
