Spatchcock BBQ Grilled Chicken | Juicy and Crispy

Rinse the chicken thoroughly and pat it completely dry with paper towels. Place it on a cutting board breast-side down. Using sharp kitchen shears, cut out the backbone along both sides from the neck to the tail.

Turn the chicken over so it is skin-side up. Press down firmly on the breastbone with the palm of your hand until you hear a crack and the chicken lies completely flat on the board.

Mix the dry rub ingredients: smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Lightly coat the chicken with olive oil, then rub the spice mixture thoroughly over all sides.
