I've been reading alot on this forum about spatchcock chicken, and I had 2 yardbirds yesterday ready to beer butt 'em, but I decided I would give this method a go.....I gotta say, I'm sold on it....came out great. Cooked them at 375-400,direct, on a raised grid, for about 45 to 50 minutes. Added a small handful of apple wood chips. Really liked them, thanks for all the suggestions.

Like you I was in the beer can chix mode til I found spatchcock-so much easier, moister and tastier to me. And saves half an elcheapo beer. Gotta be the right choice.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Did spatchcock chicken this weekend for the first time. Can't imagine chicken on the grill any other way!

Am I seeing that you used wrapped potatoes to hold up your raised grid? Nice Idea. How did they turn out?

Those look great. What did you rub them with?
-
No, it was a raised grid, I had wrapped sweet potatoes under the grid, turned out great. The rub was out of the BGE cookbook for a beer butt chicken, little on the spicier side w/cayenne,chili powder,brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, I added a little cumin.

Looks like this was spatchcock weekend. I cooked up two five pound birds myself. I cooked these indirect at 400 dome, turned out great. I have also done them direct, good that way too.Eggo in N. MS

Soon you will be spatchcocking a turkey, and I can tell you that is delicious.DavidBBQ since 2010 - Oh my, what I was missing.

It is really the same as for a chicken. Take out the back bone and flatten the bird, I have never brined a turkey that I have grilled. I have also stuffed a spatchcocked turkey by cooking the dressing and stuffing it under the skin, delicious.DavidBBQ since 2010 - Oh my, what I was missing.
