Spatchcocked chicken First Cook
« Reply #-1 on: April 10, 2015, 07:57:59 PM »
So I waited until last night to fire Ginger up and spatchcock a chicken. I seasoned the chicken with Old bay seasoning because that's what the wife likes.
Took the advice of some forum members and got gloves, wax starting cubes and a chimney starter.

Started the new chimney starter with some Kingsford Original



Put the seasoned chicken on the grill



Spent about an hour admiring the new grill while waiting for the yard bird to reach 165° F



Reached the desired temp and done.



Plated with Buttered carrots. Thanks for looking :)

I think you have practiced on a kettle behind the scenes. That yardbird looks way too good for a first cook  8) 8) Ginger is going to be used a bunch, you can just see it happening  :) :)

It looks like it was a successful first cook.  It sure as heck looks good.

There's not much better than charcoal and chicken together.
