Spatchcocked?

Do you know what spatchcocked means? I promise I'm not talking dirty and I didn't just insult you. Spatchcocking is a method of boning a chicken or turkey then spreading it out on a pan to cook. The meat cooks more evenly than a traditional upright bird and the skin is crispier.

I had never heard the word spatchcock until last week, then all of a sudden it was everywhere, apparently the newest and coolest way to cook a big bird. I haven't tried it yet but it sure seems like a good idea. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt at Serious Eats has the details.
