How to Spatchcock a Chicken

[@BillofWatkinsville]

Thank you for an easy-to-understand tutoring session, Kevin. I agree with another viewer: thank you for getting to the point without trying to be cute or entertaining.

[@KevinIsCooking]

Thanks so much Bill.

[@sallybutler4250]

Perfect - short and to the point! I feel like I can easily do this now - thank you

[@KevinIsCooking]

Excellent, thanks, so glad this helped.

[@Fitnessmindbodyspirit]

Thanks Kevin! The chicken is on my cutting board right now and I suddenly needed a reminder of how to do this.

[@meghanmarquez3065]

Thank you.

[@laurencehesser3787]

First time viewer. Thanks for the good info. And thanks for just getting to the point and not trying to be "entertaining" . Seems like most "cooks" on KZbin are just auditioning for a TV spot. Just subscribed. Good work!

[@kyzor-sosay6087]

Thanks for the video and your time.Noticed you used shears on the backbone,probably from experience.Could this be performed with a cleaver or knife or,do I need to purchase some shears?

[@JackieBuckleyphilly5]

Thank you...you make it look so easy.

[@Jah_Bari]

Thank you for a clear and precise explanation of Spatchcock method, wish I had seen your video before I did my first, previous directions I read were not as clear. Thanks.

[@KevinIsCooking]

[@beginingssful]

Thank you!!

[@evanlovestdwp]

Thank you Kevin...it's the eve of December 22me and I panicked and defrosted my large chicken. I am in southwest Ontario. They are calling for a blizzard tomorrow and possible power outages so I decided to roast my chicken this evening. I have never spatchcocked before. Cut the backbone out but it still didn't pay flat until you showed me how. Thank you very much. I am going to roast it in an aluminium cover cookie sheet....here's hoping it works...luv...Jo

[@KevinIsCooking]

After the backbone just flip it over and push down like you're giving it cpr and it'll lay flat

Thanks for this Kevin. Real simple no jargon specifics : D Feel I can do my own spatchcocking now from watching this!

[@KevinIsCooking]

Excellent, thanks for the feedback!

[@rconach]

Informative video. Preparing raw chicken on a wooden cutting board? However do you get that porous cutting board sanitized?

[@cassandrabaker9788]

Thank you Kevin

[@sjrigatti]

Me: Can you spatchcock this chicken for me? Butcher: Sure, how much spatch do you want? Me: I think I'll call the health department instead.

[@sarakuzminski159]

the irony of sneezing and cracking your back before making a video about cracking a chicken's back LOL

[@KevinIsCooking]

Right, LOL, never even thought of that!

[@sarakuzminski159]

@@KevinIsCooking thank you for helping me cross this culinary milestone!!!

[@beautyforashes8284]

You said it cooks quicker. I have a big chicken that I'm going to do for Thanksgiving. How long would I need to roast in the over per pound, if I spatchcocked?

[@KevinIsCooking]

Typically a 4-4 1/2 pound chicken would cook for 40-45 minute sin a 400°F. I would take it out of the oven/grill when it reaches 160•F and let it rest for 15 minutes. It will continue to cook and reach the desired 165°F internal temperature. So your "big" chicken will have to be based off that and add more time (I'm not sure of the weight yours is exactly). Sorry I can't be more exact for you. This is a video just to show you how easy it is to spatchcock, tick the drop down arrow near the recipe name if on Mobile or the SHOW MORE on desktop for the entire recipe and tips!

[@beautyforashes8284]

@@KevinIsCooking Alright. Thanks so much for your reply. Went to a friends farm, and got an 8 lb chicken, so that Thanksgiving dinner. I think I might try to spatchcock it.

[@KevinIsCooking]

@@beautyforashes8284 Now that is one BIG chicken! Enjoy!

DISCARD BACKBONE??????????????

Looks like he's trying to spatchcock a chicken 😂(IYKYK)

[@MrMsaldebar]

Perfect. Thanks!

[@mitch1847]

Is this PETA approved?

[@littlehummingbird1015]

Using the sheers is much easier than using a big knife....don't even try it with a knife.

[@kristinafilipovic7897]

Perfect I Just cut his nails too

[@canatowtu7823]

Dogs can eat raw chicken, so share next time :)

[@JayzeVo17]

Raw chicken would be awesome for your dog! Raw bones are rubbery, not splintery, and their stomach acid can readily deal with anything in the meat itself.

[@IMOO1896]

So you’re ruining the wishbone 🙁

[@bjorncmadsen]

That's it for you, you're going to stop after prepping and not even cook it?

[@KevinIsCooking]

It's a video on How to Spatchcock a Chicken, there are endless ways to cook it (grill it, roast it, bake it, braise it...)

[@BIG_Z_69]

No gloves?
