Spactchit
Spatched, patted dry, Dusted with corn starch, and into the fridge for 10 hours. Spritz with olive oil and a heavy rub of Hoochie Mama before going skin down then skin up on a 250 BGE.
Can't get pics in correct order. Oh well.

Sailor, I did some giggling and found that corn starch is supposed to aid it getting a crunchy crispy skin

Re: Spactchit
I've used Baking Powder in my Fried Shrimp wet Batter for crispyness and I like it real well - - - maybe I should think about Corn Starch next time - -- - Egg may come back and tell us that we're all out in left field and that was not the reason

Re: Spactchit

i appreciate the effort to do spatchcocked chicken - BUT...
i think back to our granddads, and when they cooked for a BIG crowd
they just cut the chickens in half and cooked them about 18" over the coals until they were done
i won't ever spatchcock another chicken - just 1/2s like our granddads did
I had this discussion with my nephew when he got his OldSmokey

Re: Spactchit
Looks like a prize bird to me! Did the corn starch trick help out any?

Re: Spactchit
Been busy and didn't see the questions. The patting dry, cornstarch, and putting in the fridge several hours uncovered is to dry the skin like OUP's research turned up. First time trying on a spatchcocked bird but I have used the process many times on wings and thighs. We like halves and beer butt chicken as well. We have chicken a bunch and it seems like there are a gazillion ways to prepare - we try em all.
