How To Spatchcock ChickenLearning how to spatchcock chicken isn't difficult provided you have a chicken and a sharp knife. Not only is preparing spatchcock chicken easy but it also makes cooking a whole chicken easy too, especially if you're grilling. First take your chicken and remove the giblets. Stand the chicken on its neck with the backbone facing towards you and using the sharp knife cut down one side of the backbone and then down the other so you have now removed the backbone.Place the chicken skin side down on the board and take a look at the breast bone (it's actually called the keel bone) and at the top (neck end) you'll see a circular piece of white bone - you can see my finger pointing to it below. 
Make a vertical cut through the center of this bone then insert your thumbs into the gap, push up with your fingers from the other side and you'll see the keel bone popping out. Give it a bit of a wiggle and tear it away from the flesh and there you have it a perfectly prepared spatchcock chicken ready for the grill or smoker. You can now simply slap your chicken onto the grill or for easy turning use a barbecue basket.
