Tonights menu featured a spatchcocked chicken with potatoes and a lightly dressed helping of mixed salad greens and spinach.

The chicken was rubbed under and over the skin with salt,pepper,garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. It was then rubbed under and over the skin with my homemade compound citrus butter (butter, some OJ, orange and lemon zest, fresh thyme all whipped together in a stand mixer). It was cooked at first on indirect to get some color and then switched to indirect. Light smoke provided by some hickory and apple wood. The chicken was then finished off with a glaze made from Franks Hot Sauce and local orange blossom honey.

Potatoes were cooked in a foil pouch on the grill with the same compound butter, onion, shallots, garlic, dried rosemary, salt and pepper.

Enjoy!

I tend to lean towards the sweet and heat style of saucing....
The citrus compound butter that was rubbed on really added a nice subtle flavor as well.

Nice styling on those plated pics! I also like your use of a compound butter over and under the skin. I did a Greek flavored one last week with feta cheese, oregano and butter and it came out perfect, just like yours!

I plan on trying yours very soon, it sounds so good. Great job!
