Spatchcock Chicken

Ingredients

• • Several baby red potatoes - quartered

  • 1 medium yellow onion - chopped coarsely

  • 1 Tbs fresh rosemary - chopped

  • 1 Tbs fresh thyme - chopped

  • Salt to taste

  • Pepper to taste

  • Olive oil

  • 1 whole chicken

Preparation

• • Bring grill up to 425 degrees Farenheit

  • Combine potatoes, onion, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and olive oil in the cast iron skillet

  • Spatchcock the chicken

  • Rub olive oil on the chicken and then season the bird on both sides.  Place the chicken in the skillet

  • Cook over INDIRECT heat (using heat deflectors) for ~60 mintues until it reaches 165 degrees

  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then carve

Notes

• • We like to remove the chicken from the skillet as it rests prior to carving and put the skillet with the potatoes and onions back on the grill to sautee for a few minutes longer
