Spatchcock Turkey or Chicken

Anyone every done this? Thinking about doing one this weekend on the Big Green Egg. Kind of afraid to do it myself, don't want to ruin it when cutting the breast bone out.
Anyone got any good rubs for a turkey or chicken???

You don't cut the breastbone. You cut both sides of the backbone and then flatten. I do them all the time on my egg. Or you can just cut them in half. I do half chickens too. You can't hurt it. If you have a brick, wrap it or a couple of them in aluminum foil and use to weigh down the chicken. Speeds up the cooking and for some reason, don't ask me why, it gives it a bit of a different flavor.

If you have it now and are going to do it tomorrow brine it. Cup of salt, cup of sugar per gallon of water. Sink it in it and refrigerate. Before cooking rinse several times in cold water and pat it extremely dry. I can't emphasize the importance of starting with a dry chicken.
