  1. Thanks for your video… I love making chicken this way. I do it without any seasonings, just a bit of olive oil or home made Ghee… I eat the legs & wings, and my kitty eats all the breast meat… It ends up so juicy … My kitty already had two helpings of it this morning… (I give him the best… none of that commercial cat food for my kitty)

  2. I have one very major problem with this “simple technique” to Spatchcock a chicken and that is broken bones that can cut the person cooking and carving the chicken but more importantly can become a serious and potentially life threatening chocking hazard for the eater. I was taught when Spatchcocking a bird to first remove the “Whishbone” and then when cracking open the bird to check throughly for any other broken bones and if discovered remove them. Personally I rather take the 5 to 7 additionally minutes and remove the rib cage and tight bones. Yes the first couple of times it can be daunting but afterwards it takes only a few minutes and your bird will cook even quicker. To hold the bird together while cooking I use a couple of bamboo skewers

  3. I made this but dry brined my chicken in fridge for almost 2 days. It turned out super juicy and yummy but the texture of the meat was too soft and not firm. Was this because of the brine? It was even cooked beyond 165 for breast and it still was just too soft.

  4. My sons grandmother gave me her grandmothers iron pans, that was almost 40 years ago. I have picked up more over the years and its all i use. All the internet sites, have no clue how to xare for or use it correctly. Eggs slude out like the best non stick available. I use it on a fire and electric and gas stoves. When i go to my mothers house twice a week to make her dinner, i bring iron.

  5. I just made this tonight for the first time. turned out great except im in an apartment and my smoke alarms went off like crazy when there was about 5 minutes left on the initial cook. The chicken itself came out great but if I do it again I need to figure out some way to control the smoke alarm
