Welcome to the Eating Plebian Skills Series, where we learn how to spatchcock a chicken. Spatchcocking is a technique for flattening a whole chicken, which allows it to cook much faster than an intact chicken. Flattening the chicken increases the surface area, allowing heat to cook the meat more quickly. I’ve even cooked whole chickens in as little as 25 to 30 minutes using this method.
