No, really, who doesn’t love to say “spatchcock…especially on a Friday night?!?! 🙂 And who doesn’t love working on their computer on a Friday night too! Yes, welcome to the “Janine Serio” world. Making this a quick and dirty blog post today. Well, you won’t get too dirty in the kitchen, especially with this already prepared “spatchcocked” chicken from Whole Foods! Uh huh! It takes the guess work, and hassle, out of the whole process. Yes, so easy you will be AMAZED yourself!

I can tell you that while I eat a lot of chicken, I get bored with chicken too. Ick. Ugh. The clucking starts to feel real. My food rotation has been pretty boring recently, but I am trying to get my cooking game back in check, hence this spatchcock chicken coming into play. Yes, I said it again. This dish was made last Sunday and, boy, it was a crowd pleaser!

While I would love to say this was a fabulous creation of my own, I did borrow this from a recent recipe that I saw in the Food Network Magazine. One of the things that I love is that it’s from a daddy-daughter trio! I am all about the family unit! Madeline & Anna Zakarian, daughters of famous chef Geoffrey Zakarian, have created this super simple cast-iron dish that can be served with veggies and your favorite grain (if you choose). Plus, it gives a wonderful spin to the usual “winner, winner chicken dinner!” Did I mention it is EASY? I mean, look at that steam coming off it too!

The next time you are looking for a cozy, stay at home meal where you can curl up on the couch, with a glass of wine, this will, definitely, be a go-to! Yes, you will be wanting to get your spatchcock on all the time!
