Spatchcock Turkey, Direct or Indirect?

Thanksgiving plans got canceled by family who wanted to go to a restaurant in Atlanta.  Our kids wanted traditional Thanksgiving, so we pivoted last minute and decided to have a small Thanksgiving at home.   Drove back from our beach condo last night and picked up a fresh turkey on the way in.  No time to fully dry brine, but I coated it in sea salt about an hour ago and letting it rest in the fridge.

 Already spatchcocked.  Should I go raised direct or raised indirect?   I want juicy meat and crispy skin, if possible.  I’ll probably add a little corn starch to the rub mixture to crisp up the skin a little bit.
