Spatchcocking means to split open and flatten out a chicken (or other edible bird) for grilling or barbecuing.
Ah, honey, we're talking about spatchcocking a chicken here! Split that bird down the back, give it a good rub, and throw it on the grill for some finger-licking goodness. Just make sure you don't overcook it, or you'll have a drier bird than a desert in July. Enjoy your perfectly grilled game bird, darling!
A spatchcock chicken can be any age, but it should not be too young as it will not have developed good breast meat. Also, if it is too old, say more than six months, the meat may be tough and taste very gamey. Spatchcocking is not related to age, but is merely a method of cooking chicken. It is done by cutting the chicken open along the backbone so that the chicken can be flattened out for cooking.
Some creative ways to prepare and serve an Easter turkey for a festive holiday meal include stuffing the turkey with a flavorful mixture of herbs, fruits, and nuts, roasting the turkey with a glaze made from honey and citrus, or spatchcocking the turkey and grilling it for a smoky flavor. Other options include brining the turkey in a mixture of spices and herbs, or marinating it in a savory sauce before roasting. Garnishing the turkey with fresh herbs, edible flowers, or citrus slices can also add a festive touch to the presentation.
