First Spatchcock Chicken

Oh my!!! First time cooking spatchcock chicken on the egg...or ever for that matter. I brined it overnight using Alton Brown's orange juice brine. I let it sit uncovered for 8 hours in the fridge (would have gone longer but didn't have time). I rubbed it with olive oil and covered it with Tasty Licks Savory Poultry rub, added hickory chunks, then grilled it direct at 375 until it reached temp. Oh my!!! I never knew chicken could be so good.

looks great. could you taste the OJ?LBGE 4/2012, MBGE 6/2012 & Mini 11/2013Rome, GA

Couldn't taste the OJ that I noticed. I've never eaten a chicken that moist. I was quite impressed with how it turned out. My wife liked it too and she doesn't like chicken that's been cooked with the skin on.

I dont brine my spatchcock and it is wonderfully moist...LBGE 4/2012, MBGE 6/2012 & Mini 11/2013Rome, GA

I wondered...since the egg is known for holding moisture in. The next one I try will be cooked without brining so I can compare.
-
We didn't brine and it was fantastic -- tried to pick it up by the bottoms of the legs and the whole quarter pulled right off. We used the recipe from the BGE cookbook and the BBQ rub and sauce was great on it.

Looks incredible! I have done chicken halves many times without brining and they are really moist. I can imagine they would be that much better brined. Just had chicken salad with the leftovers from last night. Gotta love the eggGeorge
