Glazed Spatchcock Chicken
From Taste of Home
Ingredients
- 1 cup white wine or chicken broth
- 1 cup apricot preserves or quince jelly
- 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
- 1 broiler/fryer chicken 3 to 4 pounds
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring wine to a boil; cook 3-4 minutes or until wine is reduced by half. Stir in preserves and mustard. Reserve half the glaze for basting.
- Cut the chicken along each side of the backbone with shears. Remove the backbone. Turn the chicken breast side up, and press to flatten. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Prepare grill for indirect medium heat. Place chicken on greased grill grate, skin side down, covered, over direct heat 10-15 minutes or until nicely browned. Turn chicken and place over indirect heat until a thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh reads 170°-175°, brushing occasionally with reserved glaze mixture, about 30 minutes.
