I spatchcock chickens for the grill.
Unfortunately I can't seem to post
pics here or I'd show you.
I'll take a pair of game shears and
trim up the fat, (save the fat for
frying), then cut down the back
bone and splay the bird out as flat
as you can get it and place it on the centre
of the grill. I have the charcoal and wood
on the sides so the bird is not directly
over the coals. It never has to be turned.
I also spatchcock fish for the smoker/grill.
A smoked carp done this way is wonderful
tavern fare with a pitcher of cold beer.
