My best spatchcocked chicken ever

Unfortunately it fell apart while taking it off. Garlic, DP regular and olive oil. Then a nice coating of cornstarch.

I've never used cornstarch before...what does it do to the chicken? Another silly question, did you put it on at the start of the cook or some other time?
Thanks -
egger66,
It helps the skin crisp. Rub and spice, let it sit, rub with oil, more seasoning then the starch. Very crisp skin. Baste once with the oil from the drip pan.

Looks great Steven, did my first spatchcock this weekend with butt rub and turned out great.

The chicken looks nice and crispy Steve, got to try that next time. When I pull my spatchcock, I use a wok spatula to support the bottom. btw, what's that veggie, rapini?canuckland

Se vé delicioso........please post times & temps. don't want to miss the details...Gracias mi amigo!!! -
Very good idea Steve! I bet the shin just popes. What kind of greens you got there sir? And you know you done good when i falls apart getting it off the grill!

Thanks Michelle.
My mom had one of those old style sifters that could lay down a light coating of corn or potato starch. Couldn't find it so the cornstarch got on a little thick.
Really crisp skin.

JL,
I used the persimmon on it too. It was awesome. The grens are steamed kale with slivered garlic in chicken stock with butter.

JL,
Sorry my internet is so slow I keep getting dropped off. I did and it is a beautiful mild smoke. It didn't overpower the chicken at all.
