Description

Spatchcock Grilled Chicken is a game-changing technique that yields incredibly juicy, tender chicken with a delightfully crispy skin. This easy, family-style recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or casual backyard gatherings.


Ingredients

– 1 whole chicken, backbone removed (spatchcocked)

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– 2 teaspoons paprika

– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

– 1 teaspoon onion powder

– 1 teaspoon dried thyme

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

1. – Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).

2. – In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.

3. – Rub the spice mixture all over the spatchcocked chicken, making sure to cover both sides evenly.

4. – Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and use your hands to evenly distribute it.

5. – Place the chicken skin-side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for 25-30 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

6. – Flip the chicken and continue grilling for another 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

7. – Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

– For best results, let the chicken sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.

– Adjust cooking time as needed based on the size of your chicken and the heat of your grill.

– Serve the Spatchcock Grilled Chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or grilled corn.
