I know, I know! You don’t have to say it. That word makes me giggle too! But spatchcock really just means to butterfly the chicken. The technique of splitting and flattening the bird yields a perfect roasted chicken and exposes more of the skin to crisp up. What can be wrong with that?!? And by […]
