Cut through the skin at the thigh, and disjoint the thigh....

Open it up like a book...

Then, flip it over....

Now smash your hand on top of the breast to flatten...

The keel/breast bone will snap, and it will look like this!

Now flavored and seasoned with favorite rubs, and onto the Egg...I used 400*-425* INdirect...drip pan on plate setter with spacers...
