spatchcock

We do our Thanksgiving at one of the local parks each year so I had to take the show on the road. The plan was to do two 16 pound birds on the spit but would they fit? :noidea: and one (20lbs) spatchcocked up above in the dome lid of the 007. The two rotisserie birds I put on opposite for...

Today is Canada Day and in celebration of my country's birthday I decided to try smoking a spatchcock chicken today. She's a 7+lb bird that I got from a local farmer just up the road and boy there is a ton of meat on this baby. Anyway, here she is all rubbed and ready for cooking: And the...

Fired up the mini on thanksgiving eve for a butt. Temps got down to 23*F but she had no trouble holding a steady 225*. Also tried a spatchcock "brick" chicken, but didnt notice a difference between brick/no brick. Made some chicken stock with the carcass for homemade chicken and rice when it...

Chicken was on the menu lastnight, I planned on initially doing it beer can style on the weber but, then realized it might be too tall, then thought to do it on the UDS which would have provided enough room but, then realized, I didn't have enough time to cook it that way. So, spatchcocking it...

Used some Poultry seasoning mixed in butter. Rubbed under the skin and all over the birds. Sweet Blue 1 1/2 Hours at 350º and ready to rest. Should have pulled about 15 minutes sooner. Legs a little dry. All huddled up Don't really know why I do Spatchcock because I don't care for...

Planning a "Mother" of a smoking plan this weekend for my two mothers... Mine and the Mother of my daughters tomorrow. Today: a) working on a fire-management scheme (with hickory and whole onion). Not wanting to waste the fire... I'll throw in the fattie 3-2-1. Might repeat fattie on Sunday...
