Part 7/10:
Beyond turkey, other poultry options like spatchcocked chicken offer versatility and speed. The process involves removing the backbone, flattening the bird to ensure even cooking, and marinating it with an herbaceous blend of onion, parsley, thyme, sage, lemon, garlic, and olive oil. The chicken is then weighted down with foil-wrapped bricks (or heavy cans) during grilling or roasting, resulting in crispy skin and evenly cooked meat in less time. This approach produces flavorful, succulent chicken that can be served as an appetizer or main course.
