Any difference between spatchcock and split half chickens?

Cookbook_Chip

i always spatchcock since that's how I learned from y'all. But I cut it up after cooking- so any difference doing split halves instead?

Not much difference

Yea...half a chicken

I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't turn out just like spatched chick.

Spatchcock, leap frog and chicken halves will cook almost identical as long as each is laying flat. 
Note:
The advantage of cooking halves instead of leap frog or spatchcock is you can fit more of them on the cooking grid.

Half is how I do chickens now that we are just the two of us. They cook the same as whole spatchcock chicken

Thanks guys. My thinking was halved seemed easier to move than the full chicken flopping around. Trying halves today!

I have started cooking the leg quarters, wings and breast halves in lieu of spatching.
