My Pro 22. I was fortunate to have the day off work, and to do whatever I wanted. Which was season the Traeger, and start learning how to smoke.

I was disappointed that my store didnt have nice butts (ha!) or bone-in shoulders. And I'm not buying a brisket there.

So…. Spatchcock chicken. Prep was easy – a little salt on the underside. Meat Church Gospel and brown sugar. I got to learn about temperature regilation and heat distribution. 6 pound bird cooked in less time than I thought.

But I LOVE the learning process. Photos start to finish.

Happy Sunday.

    Looks great 👏 I’ve been playing with temps and times and after 5 spatchcocks have settled on this –
