Crock Pot Bar-B-Q Spatchcock Chicken

When the temperature is 107 degrees and our area has a red flag warning which means we can't even use an outside grill, often times new recipes are developed out of need. That is how this recipe came to be at the cottage. I had prepared my spatchcock chicken for the grill and then had no place to grill it. I came up with the idea of placing it in my buffet crock pot, which turned out to be a delicious recipe. It is full of flavor and so easy to prepare, I will be using this new recipe over and over.

How To Make

Crock Pot Bar-B-Q Spatchcock Chicken

To prepare the Spatchcock Chicken I just 

cut the back out of the chicken and lay it flat. 

Next place it in a nice marinate

 for about 4 hours or even overnight.

Then  place the chicken into a crock pot buffet style cooker.

Place 2 sprigs of rosemary and 2 sprigs of sweet basil

 in the cavity of the chicken.

Brush your favorite bar-b-que sauce all over the chicken.

After the chicken is finished cooking, place it 

on a roasting sheet and cover in more bar-b- que sauce. 

Place in the oven for a few minutes to finish the chicken.

This Chicken is delicious and melts in your mouth!
