Instructions

1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Use kitchen shears to cut along both sides of the backbone to remove it, then flip the chicken over and press down firmly on the breastbone to flatten it (spatchcock).

2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin.

3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

4. Place the spatchcocked chicken skin-side down on the grill grates. Grill for 25-30 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.

5. Flip the chicken and grill for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

6. Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, let the chicken come to room temperature before seasoning and grilling. This helps the meat cook more evenly. Serve the Spatchcock Grilled Chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or grilled potatoes.
