Are you always serving up a whole chicken? Impress friends and family with a beautifully spatchcocked one instead.

Butterflying (or spatchcocking) is a technique that flattens whole birds, allowing you to cook them quickly on the barbecue.
Gather your supplies
- Pair of kitchen scissors
- Chopping board
Here’s how
Step 1
Sit a whole chicken, breast-side down, on a clean work surface. Using kitchen scissors, cut down one side of backbone.
Step 2
Cut along other side of backbone, lifting it slightly to ease cutting process. Lift out backbone and discard.
Step 3
Turn chicken over and press down firmly on breastbone to crack. Press down again and flatten as much as possible.
