spatchcock chicken
Butterflied roasting bird
Spatchcock chicken is a whole chicken that has been split open by removing the backbone and flattening it out.
The technique allows the bird to cook faster and more evenly, with crispier skin: I'm going to spatchcock the chicken before roasting it.
The verb spatchcock means to prepare poultry this way.
Also called butterflied chicken.
