Who here has spatchcocked something? :O

[Ryano42]

I am seriously considering it for Thanksgiving, using Alton Brown's method:

In oven on the rack over a tray of root vegetables.

Going to do a trial run with a chicken first...with my world famous Brown Sugar Curry rub!

1. Me! I've known the term for a while, I just get tittery when I say it.

2. i keep telling my husband we need a good pair of kitchen shears

simply because i want to spatchcock poultry.

i love saying that word

3. That's a rather personal question, innit?

Seriously, somewhere I have a similar recipe for roasting a chicken in the oven that way - place bird on rack over various mostly root veggies and let the yummy roasting juices soak into said veggies. Very high temp to start, then turn down the oven and finish cooking. Bird glazes beautifully that way.

4. I have five children. Does that count?
