Both are good. Spatchcocked look more impressive, but both come out great if cooked properly.
i guess i should have expanded a little more. im actually trying to figure why my last three cooks have yeilded opposite results in the wrong direction - so im wandering if its prts vs sptchck
What do you mean by "yielded opposite results in the wrong direction"? I guess I don't know what you are really asking.
As far as temp difference between the breast and thigh when cooking whole or spatchcocked, put a bag of ice on the breast for 15 - 20 minutes when the chicken is coming up to room temp before cooking. That way the breast will start out colder than the thigh and both will be done at about the same time.
lol sorry - multi tasking here.
yielded opposite results in the wrong direction --- i usually have great results, but the last three times have left my chicken dry
Got it. Do you brine your chicken? Unless i am cooking last minute I always brine chicken before cooking. It helps add moisture and can add a lot of flavor.
thx Ron. no i havnt brined. i understand that its best not to brine if chicken has already been enhanced. in some cases aound here its up to 20%
