Glen, you sir are making some of the best cooking shows on YouTube in my opinion.

[jacen]

Okay. Okay.

I am spatchcocking my chickens like that forever now. Genius.

[paulasimson]

I've never seen a chicken cut like that, but it makes so much sense. BTW, I've got a loaf of your Stuff From Our Pantry Bread in the oven right now.

[crispybits]

How have I never saw this spatchcocking method before?! looks so much easier

[JoeAuerbach]

This dude's been teasing us with that chicken so long.... is a thing I never thought I'd say but here we are.

Jules is like, "Yeah great let's make some plates and sit down to eat like civilized people." lol great stuff as usual. I will be sep-atchcock-erating my chicken from now on. Great job

[waltimedes]

Yeah, I used to wet brine poultry and especially with turkey, it felt more waterlogged than juicy. I've dry brined steak for a while, so I felt silly when I realized that was the move for poultry also. It's absolutely fantastic.

[JohnDoe-xris]

I love your spatchcock method. I've been doing it the more traditional way. Always wondered about the white meat cooking faster. I can't wait to try your method.

[lorenlash]

Holy smokes! That spatchcock technique is brilliant!! That made my day, sir. Many thanks 🙏🏼

[jpeterson]

Brilliant! Love the improved technique for cutting the chicken!👏😁

[yakuzaronin]

after watching a ton of poultry bbq smoking videos, this is the first i've seen his version of spatchcock...it's pure genius. simple and logical....we've been doing it wrong our whole lives!

question: has anyone tried this with turkey and what would you adjust?

[Silent]

All these smoker recipes makes me wish I had one myself!

[Klwjjj]

Wow 🤩 definitely making this entire meal tomorrow (Saturday). That chicken 🍗 looks amazing 😉

[Ottawa]

A lot of little things you do impress me. This method of spatchcocking the chicken seems ingenious. Another thing you did, that I am embarrassed to admit I never thought of, is crumpling up parchment paper. You saved me some headaches there.

About that rub: "Use it up, use it all up." -- Tragically Hip.

[fmervick]

I don't even eat meat, but I love watching your videos.

[RebeccaJBurke]

I'm really enjoying these videos that are a series of recipes to make up a meal. Sometimes I have difficulty thinking up sides to an entrée and this gives me a lot of ideas!

[Ottawa]

That is probably the best looking chicken I have seen. I wish I could afford a smoker. I don't have the money, or the space. Thanks for another great recipe/video.

[alfblack]

OH! I love that spatchcock technique! Going to do that now.
