I'll spatchcock ours when I can figure out how to fish that out of a deep fryer.

I’d start with this. You might need two, clamshell style

But I’d probably just keep breaking it down and then bread and chicken fry that thing if you’re going that far.

Same here. First time doing it this way so a little anxious. I just put it on the smoker.

Use your thermometer. It won't take nearly as long as cooking it the normal way.

Let us know how it comes out.

Came out fantastic! We all agreed it is better than fried (did one of those too). I should have done it this way years ago!

Spatchcocked 16.5 lbs, dry brine under skin 48 hours, lubed under skin w/ 1/1 butter & mayo. Started cooking 350F in convection oven. Internal temp rose too quickly 1st 90 min Reduced to 250F for additional 90 min. Turned out excellent.
