Spatchcock Chicken

[Dwain Pannell]

we want to make some Chicken Tortilla Soup this weekend so I need some shredded chicken. So… I cooked a donor cook for tonight’s supper. Placed a chicken skin side down on a cast iron griddle over live coals.



I didn’t flip it because chicken has enough fat to cook itself. Smoke/roasted it a cpl hours.




served with a Sweet Potato Maple Bourbon Soufflé. We ate the legs so we’ll have the breasts for the soup and maybe some enchiladas ( this bird has big breasts).

Oh man, tear me off a leg before you turn that bird into soup. Looks great

Wow. Nice looking bird

 

[ChuckO]

Nice buzzard Dwain

Why in the pan?

Always do Spatchy right over the coals .

I wanted to try to fry the skin in its own fat vs allow the fat to drip onto the fire. Worked pretty good.

Well, that certainly has me in the mood for some roasted poultry. Hmm, what to eat today...
