How to Spatchcock a Chicken
Spatchcocking a chicken cooks a whole chicken more evenly and, in less time, exposing more skin for a crispy crust. It’s a lot easier than it looks.
A spatchcock or spatchcocked chicken will literally cut your cooking time in half. When the chicken is spread out or opened up like a book, it cooks more quickly and evenly. It will be crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and bursting with great flavor.
To spatchcock a chicken, you’ll remove the backbone and arrange the chicken to make it as flat as possible. This may sound complicated, but it’s really pretty easy to do.
