There is a part of me that wants to apologize every time I say it. Then there's the other part of me that wants to scream it at the jack who just cut me off...
In any event, I was first introduced to spatchcocking by my dear friend, Staser. He walked into my classroom one morning and announced that he had spatchcocked a chicken for dinner the previous night.
There were a few moments of silence before I could respond with: "What???"
I soon was to be enlightened on exactly what spatchcocking was, but it wasn't for a good year or so before I finally had the nerve to actually try it. It just sounded so complicated...and dirty.
My foodie friends, there could not be a more efficient way to cook an entire chicken than to spatchcock it before you grill or roast it. I don't even think cutting it up is as quick (all those damn joints and all!).
And for those of you who learn like me--through reading AND seeing--I have created a rather homemade video of me doing the deed, just to help some of you out who still can't bring yourself to try out the technique.
I've decided to make this the first of a video series called: "How the Hell Do I...?" If you have any further suggestions for video topics, let me know. We may just have to learn how to do something together!
