It’s summertime and you know what that means!!!! Yep. Spatchcocked chicken time. If you are new to my blog, you may not be aware of my long standing love affair with spatchcocked chicken. Go up to the little search thing up top and type in spatchcocked chicken and get ready to feel the love.
Every Sunday in the summer, I have one or two of these babies going on my grill. This, my dear friends, was the first one of the season. This and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and I know summer has arrived.
You can find instructions at this post: Grilled Spatchcocked Chicken, which come from How To Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Foodby Mark Bittman.
Now, go out and throw one of these on the grill and feel the spatchcocked chicken love. You know you want some.

Oh, I was planning to make this last summer and misplaced your directions. Hopefully, I'll be able to backtrack this year and find them.
I'm home for just overnight, but sure enjoying my wireless and getting to catch up with my favorite blog friends.
Have a great weekend. Take care ~Natalie

Mmmm, mmmm, good!! I'm definitely going to try your recipe. I have a couple that are similar, but I'm always searching for that perfect recipe. 🙂
Kate at Serendipity says
OH, man, I love spatchcocked chicken! It's perfect for the outdoor grill (if I had one), but also for the oven grill. This one looks perfect to herald the coming of summer. I'm wondering if my mojo will stretch to grilling chicken...
Chris says
Ah, the best way EVER to cook a chicken. I love smoking and grilling them this way. I've even skillet roasted one in the oven like that.
Great looking bird, Pam.
Cinnamon-Girl says

Joanne says
Now I can rest easy. Summer is officially here. Pam has broken out the spatchcocking.
Huge relief.

Thanks Pam for teaching me some FUN! 😉

I love, love, love cooking chicken this way. This is now my favorite way to cook my Thanksgiving turkey as well! Talk about a time saver!
Peter M says
With the crack of the bone when one presses down to flatten the chicken, we're off to grillin' for the summer. You've made plan some chicken for this week.
Lydia (The Perfect Pantry) says
Oh yes, this is my favorite way to grill chicken, too. I also love spatchcocked Cornish game hens.
Mags says

Marjie says
I spatchcock my chickens to roast in the oven. The flavor can't be beat, and neither can the increased speed in roasting those suckers!
hip chick says
I have no idea what it is but I aim to find out.
grace says
you introduced spatchcocking to me, pam, and i've recently shared it with my mom. she's become as enamored of it as i have--thanks! how does it feel to be forever associated with spatchcocking in my mind? 🙂
June says
Oh for heavens sake Pam. This is getting creepy now - we had some Cornish hens "spatchcocked" for dinner last night. Delish!
Kim says
Haven't tried this method before, but it's definitely high on my list. Hooray for Mark Bittman.
Big Dude says
In reading and watching food shows, it appears the pros believe spatchcocking is the definite preferred cooking method and I agree. I either spatchcock or beer can if I'm cooking a whole chicken. Yours looks real goog.
Barbara says
Delish, Pam. Chicken cooks so evenly when it is flattened like that. I love the fresh rosemary!
Betsy from Tennessee says
Yes---I remember your posts about Spatchcocked Chicken, and I think I could smell your grill when you were cooking them... ha ha...
