Easy Bird

[Jim Lampe]

been power washing nearly everything in sight this weekend... more today (skipped out of work )
with all that going on and dinner to make, I simply spatchcocked a 4½lb bird, seasoned it with Penzey's Salsa seasoning and Southwest seasoning. Then tossed the chicken into a large cast iron skillet.

a few ears of corn surround the bird.
about an hour later....

the other day, I mentioned an easy way to husk grilled corn, here are a coupla photos...
Cut the bottom of the cob completely off...

...then simply squeeze out the cob from the other end...

the ear slides out perfectly clean and ready to munch!
so we did!

with fresh garden green beans seasoned up with Mural of Flavour
Thank you all for pullin' up a seat, next time, grab a fork'n let's eet!

That chicken looks delicious. The skin looks beautifully rendered. Thanks for the tip on the corn! Do you soak it in water before you throw it on the grill?

Chicken looks great. As for the corn, I never grill with the husk on, don't get as much flavor that way in my opinion, but that's just my way, good anyway to tell the truth. And did I say that that chicken really looks good?.........................ck

Do you soak it in water before you throw it on the grill?

I guess I'm the only weirdo in the bunch, butt, I'm sorry. The pic of you squeezing the cob from the husk, with a glove on no less, I'm gonna stop right there And, I'll be doing the same with my corn soon. Beautiful chicken too, Jim!
