Picked up all kinds of chicken pieces and parts from Publix this morning. The haul included a whole bird, bone-in, skin-on breasts, drumsticks, drumettes and wings as well as a St. Louis rack of ribs.
I cooked the spatchcocked bird in a new CI pan (with the handle cut off) - direct at 400. Sat in a little olive oil, lemon slices and sage leaves with a home-made poultry rub.
Meanwhile, 'er indoors did some wings in the big clock as we were pressed for time for guests arriving :-( so no pix. 
Did some snacks for apps this evening - jalepenos, stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese, Italian sausage meat, Boursin shallot and chive cheese, mexican 4 cheese mix and green chillies.
It's all good and more to come. I'll probably grow feathers by the end of the weekend.

    This thing turned out so well I'm gonna wear it on my head!
    I picked it up at Academy Sports for less than $20 and cut the handle off and ground it to round - magic.

    That chicken looks bangin good!! I am thinking of buying a bigger CI skillet or one without handles so I can do this cook. I just can't bring myself to cutting off the handle of Memmaw's skillet.

    @Mattman3969. Keep Memmaw"s skillet - hang it on the kitchen wall and bow in front of it when you cook with a new (cheap), well seasoned Lodge or Outdoor Gourmet. THis is worth every penny of $17.95. and 78 cents for a hacksaw blade. You will NOT regret this.

    Thanks @hdumptyEsq - no way way I would chop of Memmaw's handle. I am sure that would come back to haunt me.

    Hang it on an eastern wall and kneel in front of it before every cook.

    Well. I am old and buying **** for the egg is like owning a Harley Davidson. Buying the bike is only the beginning - open a savings account now.

    whatdyamean open a savings account???  That's so 2013!  That's why we have credit cards...

    After you cut off the handle with a hacksaw, did you use a bench grinder on it for smoothing?  I just ran into this very problem on my medium - couldn't fit the steak in the small CI that fits, and couldn't fit the larger CI because of the darn handle.  Getting out the hacksaw in the morning.

    @tksmoke. You're up early! Yeah, I have a bench grinder and rounded it out. Perfect fit for the medium.
    @johnmitchell. Thanks. This way turns out the moistest, most even cook you can imagine - delectable.
