Spatchcock

Spatchcocked grouse is backbone-out and flattened for even, faster roasting or grilling with maximum skin exposure. It is an intensely gamey moorland bird, lean and aromatic of heather diet. Season under the skin, roast or grill hard, rest, and use the backbone for stock. Ideal when whole-bird service must finish faster.
