Spatchcock a true delicious moist Bird every time from a old man yeah that's me been doing this over 40 year's. The truth be cut the damn backbone out turn it over and smash the bird flat. Me rub with plain Mustard and me rub of choice today be Slap Yo Mama a long time favorite. No injection no brine needed. You can bake in over I prefer Smoking over Lump Charcoal and Pecan Wood. Noth the mustard in parts no flavor it breaks down the fatty tissue and helps the rub into the meat. Your gonna cut your cooking time in half and cook perfectly and evenly. The trick once Smoking complete 2 hours this 15 pound bird need to move to a flat surface and tent with foil for 30 minutes. The temperature actually rising continues to cook and socks all the moisture back inside. A most perfect moisture loaded bird every damn time. Juices come flowing from inside like you never seen before. Take it from me the old man SPATCHCOCK rules. #spatchcock #spatchcocked #spatchcockturkey #pecansmokedturkey #thanksgiving2017 (at USS Zug Island)
