Chosing your Bird

  • If cooking more then one Bird try and pick two or more the same size in weight!

How To Spatchcock A Chicken

  • Place the chicken on a large cutting board and Pat Dry. Arrange the chicken breast-side down with the neck facing towards you.
    Use a a good quality kitchen shears holding the neck and cut along one side of the chicken spine, separating it from the ribs. Be sure to cut as close to the spine as you can so that you do not end up discarding any more of the chicken meat than necessary. Repeat on the other side of the spine.A good knife will also work..
    Flip the chicken so that the breasts face upward and the chicken legs face outward. Using a knife slice the breast bone. This should flatten the chicken completely.

Season the chicken

  • Apply a generious amount of Gator Shake or your favorite rup. Apply to all sides of the bird!!

Smoking the Bird

  • Pre-Heat your Z Grills to 275°F with your favorite Z Grills Pellet. For this cook I used Cheery!
  • Once the temputure of 275°F is reached, place the chicken with the skin up on the grates or wire rack.
  • Smoke for approxmetly 2 Hour or when the tempature reaches 165°f thicket part of the breast
  • Move the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
