Spatchcock Chicken

Ingredients

• Several baby red potatoes - quartered
• 1 medium yellow onion - chopped coarsely
• 1 Tbs fresh rosemary - chopped
• 1 Tbs fresh thyme - chopped
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Olive oil
• 1 whole chicken

Preparation

• Bring grill up to 425 degrees Farenheit
• Combine potatoes, onion, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper and olive oil in the cast iron skillet
• Spatchcock the chicken
• Rub olive oil on the chicken and then season the bird on both sides. Place the chicken in the skillet
• Cook over INDIRECT heat (using heat deflectors) for ~60 mintues until it reaches 165 degrees
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then carve

Notes

• We like to remove the chicken from the skillet as it rests prior to carving and put the skillet with the potatoes and onions back on the grill to sautee for a few minutes longer
