I promised a buddy a beer can chicken.  My wife arrived home with two birds.  One solution:  beer can in the medium, spatchcock in the large.  She sometimes complains about chicken on the Egg - too tender and juicy for her.  Seriously.  She prefers hers a little more well done.  Oh well, that's how me and the Eggs roll.

    Will be enjoying the post-cook review as this could be quite entertaining given a Friday night event.   B)
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. CHEETO (aka Agent Orange) makes Nixon look like a saint.

    Nice job!  There is no wrong way with chicken looking like that!

    Beer can was in the medium.  Spatch in the XL.

    Capt, was only able to enjoy the spatchcock.  So, so good.  I apply a liberal amount of rub, I want it to get through to the meat.

    Done this before.  In fact, had a bake off one Thanksgiving: my spatchcock versus wife's oven baked.  She was gracious in defeat.

    It's too late for this cook, but spatchcock both next time. Drink the beer(s). Both you and the chicken will be better for it.
