Thanks, once again, to the collective knowledge on this forum. I'm a newbie and did my first spatchcock chicken tonight along with some sides. I would never have known to have the chicken in the fridge uncovered overnight to dry the skin a bit - worked perfectly. Dry rub this morning. 350 cook and made a gametime decision to go indirect because of XL and full batch of lump - even with Woo Ring worried the bird might be too close to fire. Did Brussels Sprouts with shallots in cast iron on BGE. Mashed sweet potato as another side. Perfect Fall meal. My poulder crapped out so need another 'leave in' thermometer, but my instant read was operating so was able to pull at 165 breast / 185 thigh. Rested for fifteen. Thanks to all of you who share your wisdom - makes the journey more fruitful and the families happier.

    Great cook.  Next time consider putting the bird on the sprouts. The drippings will add a nice flavor.

    Great suggestion. I guess I'd quarter the bird? I'll do that. I also want to try going direct - although the skin was crispy perfection and the meat was tender. Can't complain how this trial run turned out.
