First of all thanks to everyone on this forum for all the great advice as it has really helped my cooking out a ton. All the info on here really gives me confidence to try to cook things I normally never would have. With that being said I have a family member getting married in a couple of weeks and since everyone has been bragging about the food around my house nowadays they have asked me to take care of the meats. It is a really small wedding so not too worried about biting off more than I can chew. Now the question I have is they are wanting a couple of butts and a couple of chickens so I am going to stick to what I have had success with lately two 7lb ish turbo butts and two spatchcock chickens. Ok so when I FTC the butts to keep them warm then I am going to cook the chickens can I FTC them also to keep them warm. I have about a 30 minute drive and then how ever long the ceremony takes and I am worried about the chicken still being as good as it is coming off the egg.

Shred the chicken and put it in a foil container. IMO. FTC will last hours with the butLBGE& SBGE———————————————•———————– Pennsylvania / poconos

The problem with FTC and chicken is it will kill your skin. I love the idea of shredded chicken though. Easy to serve tooJust a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

I wouldn't overlook doing some sausage too. Hard to screw up and can definitely round out your plate. 2 sides, a lil bit of pulled meat and a sliced 1/2 link (assuming they are like kiolbasa type links) for every guest.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

@cazzy if the FTC would ruin the skin could I put them in a aluminum pan then put them in the oven to keep them warm once I arrive love the look of a whole chicken the last one I did was a 7 lb bird and everybody was impressedLexington TN

That would probably work, although they may dry out a tad. Should be OK.
I would do more than two, though.

I haven't done it (yet) but based on what some others have posted here I'd consider a skinless spatchcock bird. That way you can present the whole chicken and you don't have skin issues. Or do it your regular way and just do the best you can with the skin.
