Spatchcock Chicken Veggies

BrisketBob

Has anyone cooked veggies in the drip pan underneath the spatchcock chicken?  Which veggies work best and how long does it take them to cook?  I plan on cooking the chicken between 350-375 degrees. Any help will be appreciated.  BrisketBob

Turnip, squash, potatoes, bell pepper, hot pepper, onions, celery, zucchini, carrots, cut cubs of corn. Pretty much anything. I usually put them  on about 15 minutes after the chicken (for a three to four pound bird), roughly 35 minutes of cook time

Do you put any liquid in foil pan with veggies under the chicken? Thanks

Little Steven

No, the chicken will drop plenty of liquid and fat. You might add a bit of white wine and stir if the bottom of the pan gets too hot.

Thanks Little Steven.

You're welcome. I would use two disposable aluminum pans for the vegetables to keep the bottom from scorching too.

The veggies from The Chicken recipe go very nicely with spatchcock chicken: The Chicken (and vegetables)

Did quartered red potatoes, mushrooms,green beans, carrots and onions in an aluminum pan under the bird. Added some chicken stock to start.
