Spatchcock BBQ Oven Roasted Chicken
This spatchcock BBQ oven roasted chicken gives the flavor and vibes of a chicken that was smoked in a fancy bbq smoker all day, but it’s actually done quick and easy in your oven! The marinade is amazing. You’ll wow everyone.
You can use this method to spatchcock your chicken yourself, or ask the butcher to do it for you at the grocery store. Sometimes stores sell pre-spatchcocked chickens as well! It cuts down on the cook time dramatically and I find makes carving easier too.
