America's Test Kitchen this week did "High-roasted chicken"
(chicken roasted at 500F the whole cooking time) and to avoid
having to turn the bird, spatchcocked it. They called it
"butterflying," but we'uns know different.
Very good demo, right there on video, of chopping out the spine
then turning the bird skin-side up then using the heel of your
hand to snap the sternum and flatten the breast.
Good luck finding someone who TiVo'd it.

We're still looking for an RFCer who is willing to photograph and
describe the steps involved in this process so it can be a permanent
part of the rfc website. Links are great, but they're not forever.

How did the high heat method come out?

I'm willing to do it if and when I get a chance. :-)
My dad and I don't care for breast meat so I rarely purchase whole
chickens.
I'll try to do it eventually if nobody beats me to it.

No one's beating down our doors for the honor, so we'll just contently
wait for the next time you cook a whole chicken. Your squid thing,
while ucky, was fantastic! Heehee!
Thanks so much!

I don't know. And I don't know why I don't know.
I think I went to do something in the kitchen when they
did the taste test.
I don't know what that was.
I remember reorganizing my freezer. But I did that while
semi-watching a Dirty Jobs marathon on the Discovery Channel.
I reorganized the freezer because with all the tilia-bagged,
portioned-out meat that I've been compulsive-shopping for lately,
it's gotten an Ozzie Nelson's Closet personality. Every time
I go for a few ice cubes, I have to pick salmon filets off
the floor. So now the poultry, hooved animal flesh, and
seafood are in their own boxes. My toes are safe to roam
the linoleum once again.

If we could get someone to demonstrate how to clean an octupus, I'd be all
over that! I guess the trick is to NOT break the ink sack. <shiver>

Didn't Ozzie have one too?
No matter. The boxes do the trick.

Maybe we could talk Ophelia into making Haggis, with pictures and step
by step instructions. LOL!
