A fall favorite: a spatchcocked chicken in a cast-iron skillet on the grill, set over bite-sized baby potatoes and Brussels sprouts. 🤌 The best part? We do the hardest part for you and spatchcock (remove the backbone and flatten) the chicken in house!

📝 Spatchcock Chicken with Potatoes & Brussels Sprouts

〰️ Preheat your grill to 350°F–400°F and place a large cast-iron skillet inside to heat up.

〰️ Season the chicken, potatoes and Brussels sprouts all over with your favorite rub or oil and herb blend(s). Place the potatoes and Brussels sprouts at the bottom of the hot cast-iron skillet, then lay the flattened chicken directly on top.

〰️ Close the grill lid and cook for about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours (depending on bird size and grill heat) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reaches 165°F.

Bon appétit!
