I really don't think I did a very good job of prepping the chicken - it didn't 'lay flat' on the egg - but the taste was amazing.
Small whole chicken
Spatched
Seasoned with lemon pepper
On the Egg
Ready! 165 degrees......
YUM!
My daughter said, "Wow - that's juicy!!"
It was great!

Looks great to me - love doing spatchcock.

After you cut the back bone out turn the chicken over and with a sharp knife put about 2 inch slit in between the two breast and you can make it lay flat.

Thanks - that's the tip I needed!

Isn't that what's it's all about ? Congrads

You need to 'half' **** the chicken.
-
I just lay it skin-side up on a cutting board and give it a good smack. Lays down flat w/o a cut.
-
That's what I do. I hit it in the back to break to bones a little bit and that sucker will lay flat. I love lemon-pepper chicken but haven't seasoned a spatchcocked bird with it yet...I will now.

Very good job for your first OR ANY time!! Try shoving the spice under the skin and squezzing a lime on it next time if you really like strong flavor!
