Couple spatch chickens

[Preston B]

Going in a brine for a couple hours then rinse and pat dry really well and into the fridge for a couple hours. Thinking one on the PK and one on the Jumbo Joe. Love some spatchcock chicken.

Spatched chicken is the only way to cook a whole bird in my opinion.

Agreed cant remember the last time I did it any other way. Normally i like to brine longer and 6 hours in the fridge but no time today only gonna get about 2 hours in the fridge. I mixed some of the rub with some butter for under the skin once they come out of the fridge.

First one on the PK came out good. Ran it to 155 then spread the coals and went breast down direct with it a little too warm but it still came out ok. Burnt the wings a little. Just put the 2nd on the jumbo joe.

Nice looking chicken for sure! I like spatching but sometimes i just cut em completely in half.

The chicken on the jumbo joe turned out a little better.

It is cool to see how good the little jj can cook. I like the black char on the PK version.
