somebody shut me the fark up.
Our local grocery (Publix) had whole fresh young chickens on sale for $.99/lb.
i can't resist a good deal, so two 5lbers ended up in my buggy.
I got home and decided it was straight to the brine for these two byrds.
After sitting immersed in brine since yesterday, I took them out of the brine, rinsed them in cold water and patted them dry with a paper towel.
This is when things got ugly, out come the poultry shears and I performed a backbone-ectomy on each - that's right..............................it's Spatchcock time!
Once the deed was done, they both went spreadeagle, and got a liberal dose of Stubbs BBQ spice rub - time to introduce them to Pa Kettle.
I fired up the Weber performer (Pa Kettle) with charcoal holders in place I proceeded to place both byrds on it.
After some time at 325 the breast was approaching 165, I decided to throw on an appetizer.
It just so happens that one of my Alaska connections had just overnighted me 18 lbs of vacuum packed wild caught sockeye salmon, and also it just so happens I have some room on Pa Kettle - right over the charcoal..hmm
let's check in on it
Looking good
and the money shots?
Sure was tasty!
