First spatchcok chicken

Looks good! Spatchcock is one of the main reasons I bought the small egg, being able to take a cheap chicken and make it taste that good for a few people all while traveling.. I have tried smoking it before, but after doing it raised direct once thats my go to method. I have found a small handful of cherry chips works wonders for the taste and the color of the spatchcock'd bird.Large & Small BGE, CGW Two-Tier Swing Rack for BOTH EGGS, Spider for the Wok, eggCARTen & and Cedar Pergola my Eggs call home in Edmond, OK.

+1 on raised direct. I like my chicken bathed first as well (brined)
Makes it more juicy

I do mine raised direct at 375. Usually thermapen after about 45 mins.Killen, AL (The Shoals)XL, Small, Minimax, and Mini BGEs

Always leave the bird uncovered overnight in the fridge, I also will turn it over at the end of the cook and let the skin side get a little direct heat. Seems to produce great results. Another thing I have done is a little garlic butter spray or mop, then cornstarch and let her roast.

I throw the maverick in nearly all to temp cooks. Takes the guess work out of when to check.Dunedin, FL

Just thermapen after about 50 mins for the first check.Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -
I have been using an Oregon Scientific remote thermo, which is food temp only. It just gave up the ghost, so I'll be using my Maverick.
That's the kind of cook I like to do from the living room in front of the 50" flat screen!
