[ED (Seth): We picked up Joe Pichey from MMMGoBluBBQ to share his tailgating recipes, and Stubb's offered to sponsor it. This is one of those things where the BBQ sauce people really liked our blog and the bloggers really liked the BBQ sauce, and this all ends badly for domesticated livestock.]

I was looking over the first seven recipes and noticed something very disturbing. One of my favorites is nowhere to be found. Where is the CLUCKIN’ Chicken recipe? We’ve got plenty of beef recipes and even a pork tenderloin slider post, but the juicy “yard bird” is missing.

I think the best way to fix this is by posting the juiciest chicken recipe ever with the name that will make us all laugh like we were back in middle school. SPATCHCOCK CHICKEN. This is my go-to chicken recipe when I need to feed a group of hungry Wolverines and feed 'em rather quickly. While I love a great Beer Can Chicken, I think this recipe could be the juiciest one yet. The compound butter packs some huge flavor and produces a super crispy skin. What else can you ask for?

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 LB Whole Chicken Fryer
  • BBQ rub of your choice

Compound Butter: Mix Together and set aside

  • 1 stick of butter (Room Temperature)
  • 1/4 cup of your favorite BBQ rub or any other spices you like. Garlic is great in the butter

[After the jump, there are worse things you can do to chicken than beating it under the lights.]
