Spatchcock Cornish Hen (Grilled)

[Keltin]

Spatchcocked chicken is on my short list of things to try. I don't remember where I saw or read it, but someone said that they ran criss-crossed metal skewers through the spatchcocked chicken to keep it from buckling up on the grill. Looks like yours stayed pretty flat.....nice chickie!

Interesting. I've actually never had one buckle up on me, and I've done quite a few. Bacon, yes - but never a spatchcocked bird.

There's actually very little holding it together after you crack the wishbone. I can't really imagine how it would buckle.....unless maybe they didn't snap the wishbone first?

Keltin there are lots of post I haven't seen as the newbie here, This has got to be one I want to try it's so Q&E I never thought of Russian or French dressing on birds, but now I have to try it.
Thanks to Cooksie for bring it up or I might have missed it.
