    @KiterTodd, it was sorta spatched- in that I removed the back bone but I didn't make the cut wide enough for the bird to collapse. I could have forced it flat but I wasn't worried about it.

    Strength most certainly varies from supplier to supplier. In the UK we have Barts spices, their cumin is about 1/3rd of the strength of ground cumin from East End (another supplier). I found this out one day the hard way when making crispy aromatic duck. :)

    So last night I used 1 tsp ground cumin with this recipe, and it was perfect. I cooked double cut pork loin chops, it works well with that too ... so not just for chicken. I also upped the amount of oregano.

    @KiterTodd - Thanks so much for your post.  I finally got to it tonight, and it was fantastic!!  I marinated a full 24 hours, and basted every 20 minutes.  Got rave reviews!  The dipping sauce is excellent too.  Really glad to have left-overs.  I know, a pic or it never happened.

    great looking cook.  thanks for the recipe.  

    One note on the recipe, might recommend a Grade A chicken.  Grade A means the bird has been inspected by USDA and should have no flaws in the skin.  For me, important step for spatchcocking birds.  Better for working fingers under the skin from breast to leg, lessens chance of tearing skin.........

    Cook it just like you cook Cuy.  That is Peruvian.  Hmmm, thinking about it, I think I will visit the nearest pet store.
