1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken breast-side down and use kitchen shears to cut along both sides of the backbone to remove it. Flip the chicken over and press down on the breast to flatten it.
2
Season the Chicken
Rub the entire chicken with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed.
3
Grill the Chicken
Place the spatch-cocked chicken on the grill, skin-side up. Grill for about 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4
Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting it in half. Serve with charcoal sauce and your choice of two sides.
