Today is about technique.

Chicken Under a Brick with Loaded Mashed Potatoes and a Homemade Biscuit

Grocery store did not have a smaller whole bird that this SmartChicken brand 4# Young Chicken. First time cooking with a brick. This is also my first #spatchcock attempt. Lessons were learned. 😉

What a nice response!

My poultry shears will be restored to their glory free of charge.

Like many, we have several non-negotiable Thanksgiving sides. However the mode of cooking the Turkey is where I am given considerable freedom. This year I didn’t use anyone’s recipe by my own experience. It was tender, juicy, and delicious, and since it was spatchcocked it was done in 90 min. #cooking #Thanksgiving #spatchcock

Second year in a row that I have spatchcock’d the turkey and I am a believer! So good. (But Bitman is cray if he thinks it cooks in 45 minutes…) Happy #Thanksgiving! #Turkey #spatchcock

12 lb #spatchcock #turkey from #CannonFalls, #MN on the #Weber, indirect heat with Apple wood smoke packets. Will be done in <2 hrs

@bonitalissa My husband asked me yesterday if we should "bangkok" the turkey. ha ha ha. I asked if he'd been watching foodie videos again. And no, we did not spatchcock the turkey. #spatchcock #turkey

To all the Americans watching the clock wondering if it’s too late to #spatchcock their #turkey, solidarity! Do it!

Spatchcocked and ready to brine. Because we’re doing Thanksgiving at my sister-in-law’s, we’ll be missing out on the requisite leftovers for sandwiches, soups, etc. So we’ll be making a turkey of our own on Saturday - an almost-13-pounder we bought fresh, not frozen. We’re using Samin Nosrat’s spatchcocked/buttermilk-brined recipe from New York Times Cooking.

Once you go #spatchcock you never go back.

Smash that turkey. Smash it flat and put it in the oven and then eat with extreme prejudice.

The #Weber crew is all cleaned up and will all be put to use tomorrow. We’ve got #BBQ #BabyBackRibs, #spatchcock chickens, Mac-n-cheese, and the rest of the sides. #Thankful that the family is in a good place and I’m happy at work. Not having either one can be a heavy blow to a family. #BeNiceFirst #HackerBBQ #AnchorBrewing #ChristmasAle

You'll see tons of hacks in cooking turkey, but nothing is more effective at ensuring your turkey will be cooked properly than to part it out. It takes about 5 minutes to do, and reduces cook time down to around an hour.

The best part is you can cook the breasts to temperature separate from the other parts, keeping your entire turkey cooked perfectly.

Not to mention, carving at the table or before is a breeze.

#Spatchcock is one of my #favorite words, too!

Chicken is best when you #spatchcock it, especially when you plan to grill it. I've done this for years. Should be the same for turkey. Helps if you have a good pair of #Poultry shears

I can’t talk about spatchcocking a bird without feeling dirty. #cooking #thanksgiving #spatchcock

This #Thanksgiving I’m going to #spatchcock a turkey for the first time. My reading seems to indicate I should put it on a pan of root veggies to prevent the turkey drippings from smoking and to have delicious flavorful veg. But the 12-13 lb turkey needs to roast longer (75-99 min) than I would normally do the root veggies. Is that copacetic? Will the moisture from the turkey keep them burning? I’m overthinking this I know but…#cooking #tips welcome

@Johncdvorak I spatchcocked some of the chickens I raised this spring. Makes for very efficient stacking in the freezer!
