I've done this a few times and its delicious. Super-Bonus: Practically no clean-up required.
What did you do to the skin if anything?

Hell, I used to have a little ceramic deal to use instead of a beer can.  It was shaped like a beer can at the top, then flared out to a wider base so as to give your poultry a firmer foundation, as it were.  I should look for that thing.  Or buy some beer.  Or something.

I spatchcocked and grilled a bird over the weekend. It came out OK, but I have been thinking I haven't done the beer can thing in a while. Good call.

Have never heard of Spatchcooked chicken. Sounds interesting. And that beer can bird looks absolutely perfect.

It means butchering a bird by cutting out its backbone and flattening it. It's how we grill birds for most of our company meals. Where'd you grow up?

oh i pulled a spatchcock last weekend, made a quick rub using a bunch of things but most importantly and for the first time ever, coffee (ground super-fine with mortar & pestle). it added a damned fine layer of complexity to the finished meat. anybody else ever tried it?

I grew up in Houston Texas and in our family we just cut the birds in half when we went to grillin'.

I grew up in Oklahoma (and knew the type of people who would know how to grill some shit.  For instance, I have had deer prepared in at least ten ways.  Our neighbors killed their own cows and rabbits.  So did my family for a bit.) and have never heard of this spatchcook either.

Also, it's spatchcock. I should have add the quotes to make it obvious I was quoting.
