Ingredients
  

  • 1 Whole Chicken
  • Your Favorite BBQ rub
  • Kosher Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Remove giblets from the cavity and pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels. Do not rinse.
  • Prepare the chicken by removing the backbone, and flattening it.
  • Apply kosher salt, pepper, or your favorite BBQ rub to both sides of the spatchcocked chicken skin.
  • Fill the hopper with pellets, start up the pellet grill, and preheat to 300-350°F.
  • Place the spatchcocked chicken on the pellet grill grates with the breast side facing up.
  • Place an internal temperature probe into the middle of one of the chicken thighs.
  • Close the lid, cook the spatchcocked chicken for about 1 to 2 hours.
  • When the internal temperature of the thigh has reached 165°F, remove the chicken from the pellet grill.
  • Rest uncovered for 15 minutes — do not cover with foil or the skin will soften. Carve and serve immediately.
  • Carve, plate, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
