My first attempt at a spatchcock grilled chicken. Hoping it turns out as tasty as it's looking so far.

Letting it smoke a bit for a finisher.

Not my best butchery, but it'll work!

I'm enjoying the JJ. I've got a SJ as well. Working my way up to hopefully getting a Performer one day.

Looks good! Is the general idea chimney full of charcoal split into baskets on either side then set the bird in the middle until it comes to temp? How long does that usually take? Haven't done spatchcock chicken yet but after seeing this I definitely would like to try.
Together we'll fight the long defeat.

I wait till the charcoal is mostly ashed over then dump in the baskets. Chicken goes on within 5 minutes and I cook with all the vents wide open. Try it, you'll love it.

Pardon the newb ignorance; but is spatchock simply referring to the split bird or is there something else?
Its amazing how quickly one weber kettle turns into more than a dozen!  Always open to grabbing something interesting so let me know what you've got!

butterflied, yes

you can google for several examples
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

@LazeeRobotz I like to split my chickens down the breastbone, just like you did. Many folks cut out the spine instead, but some of my favorite bits are along that backbone!

Yes you've got it exactly! As far as time I did 15 minuets breast side down and then approximately 20 minutes after the flip, however, I was doing a smallish chicken. Mainly relying on my meat thermometer at that point. Happy grilling!
