Went in a bit blind here. Brined the chicken in brown sugar and salt, seasoned with the usual suspects. Had some brilliant advice on my intro post to do a practice run and I’m so glad I did. Sort of got the temperature somewhat under control now I think.

Chicken was super juicy. I would’ve gone longer for the crisp but I didn’t want to risk drying it out. Overall, it was a bit sweet for my taste (brown sugar brine) but the flavor was very good. Very happy with this maiden voyage.

    Raised direct Spatchcock is my favorite. Try raised direct next time – if you keep the heat to about 375ºF, you’ll get good color w out too much burning on the bottom side.
