Wanting to do a rotissierie chicken on the grill but I'm serving multiple people is it possible to carve a chicken once its cooked? If it is possible Is it any different from carving a raw chicken?

Very possible. In fact, probably more common.

Of course.

Do yourself a favor and remove the wishbone before cooking.

I always carve a rotisserie chicken with kitchen shears. Very easy and quick. About 8 snips and all done.

First a thread on boiling ribs and now asking if one can carve a chicken. Good lord you people are yuppies.

Of course you can carve a chicken after its been cooked.

If you cook it right, you should be able to just pull the breasts off whole.

You mean like, can you cut into a cooked chicken? How else would you do it exactly?

only thing you're actually gonna "carve" is the breast... yes, after it's cooked..

surely, i'm reading your post wrong...

Bend the thighs back and cut through at the joint on both sides, then cut at the leg joint. That is four pieces. Cut the wings at the joint, then take a good boning knife and go down the breast following the bone to remove it from the bone both sides. The using a sharp knife slice the boneless breasts.

I carve the wishbone into an extra piece. If I cut up a chicken raw I do the same and it makes nine pieces, cut the breast in half and you have an eleven piece chicken with for the most part all the same size. My mother called that country cut. The wishbone kicks arse. And that doesn't include the neck or back.

Don't forget those little back oysters.

Never heard them called that. But that's what they are. They're damn back oysters.

I'm going to cook a whole chicken tonight, but instead of cooking it in the traditional manner, I flattened the chicken by cutting the back down the center. Anybody have any experience cooking chicken this way?

I'm also going to cut the chicken up after I cook it.

"spatchcock"

I did 2 this past weekend on the grill. Season to your liking, then 20-25 minutes skin side down at about 350. Flip and cook another 20-25 minutes. You can baste it while it cooks if you like.

That is called "spatchcock" chicken. When you remove the back or sternum and flatten.

And my mother called it country only when she cut out the wishbone as a piece of chicken not just dremoving the bone. And you won't find it in a store cut up like that.

I use kitchen sheers to cut the back out on both sides then flatten. If you have a brick, wrap it in aluminum foil and weigh the chicken down with it. Cooks a little quicker and for some reason changes the flavor.

What the hell is a dry brine?

Is it like a dry rub?
