consider spatchcocking it. Also known as butter flying.
It's the only way I do it anymore. also works for larger baking hens. Cuts cooking time in half, and all of the skin gets
well browned and crispy.
Helpful hint....get a pair of heavy duty hand held garden clippers, use only for the kitchen.

(6,270 posts)4. I was reading an article about which shears to use for spatchcocking
over at Serious Eats and the author suggests that using shears for spatchcocking is fine until you get to the 14, 16lb range and then you'll probably need to switch to a saw.

I am seriously looking for something like a bone saw. even a roasting hen has tuff ribs.

Ive gone through a few sets of lesser shears over the years and glad I bought these. They are expensive but very heavy duty with lots of leverage and easy to clean.
