First Spatchcock attempt! pics

porta

Decided it was time for my first spatchcock. This is only my 2nd cook on the BGE but, after reading alot of posts on the forum I decided to take it on. It was much easier than I thought. After a 3 minute video on youtube the chicken was successfully spatchcocked and ready for some seasoning. I let it air out in the fridge for 3 hours or so in hopes of crisping up the skin. Seasoned with light EVOO and some Dizzy Pig and she was ready. 400 degrees raised direct with a handful of Applewood. DELICIOUS! I pulled it at 155 - 160 breast/185 dark. It was just a smidgin under on some of the breast meat. Nothing to worry about, just a few degrees more next time. I hope the pictures do it justice
