"Sorta" Spatchcocked Chicken

So the local grocery didn't have any whole chickens when I was there the other day, but they did have packages of what they called "Best Parts" - and they had a "Buy 1 get 1 free" sale, so I couldn't resist. 

Twas an easy-peasy cook - rubbed 3 of them w/ Dizzy Pig Ragin River, and 2 of them w/ Rub w/ Love, African Peri Peri.  Did them direct, raised grid, dome temp ~350, cooked till ~170.   

They came out INCREDIBLY moist, and the consensus was that the Peri Peri rub was favored, as it had more of a "kick" and had a better & more robust overall flavor.  I think my GF got it either at Trader Joes, or Whole Foods (can't remember where, exactly).  At any rate - GOOD STUFF!!

Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee

    hmmm, well it's weird - I originally tried the "Attach a file" link @ the bottom, but that didn't work.  So this time I clicked the "insert image" icon on the upper right side. 

    weird stuff!!

    I see the pictures and they look great !

    Trader Joe's is coming to Houston this year and I can't wait.  We always make a beeline for it whenever we go to Albuquerque and Santa Fe.  I understand that Two Buck Chuck is now $3.00 .... still a good price.
