Grilled Spatchcock Pastured Chicken

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut out the backbone with kitchen shears and press the chicken flat.

  2. 2

    Rub with olive oil and the mixed seasonings.

  3. 3

    Grill skin-side up over indirect medium heat, then flip to crisp the skin, 40-45 minutes total, until the thigh reaches 165F.

  4. 4

    Rest 10 minutes and squeeze lemon over top.

Notes

Farm tip: Spatchcocking evens the thickness so the breast and thighs finish together with crispy skin.

Serving suggestion: Serve with grilled vegetables and a lemony salad.
