Spatchcock

Spatchcocked partridge is backbone-out and flattened for even, faster roasting or grilling with maximum skin exposure. Small lean game bird, delicately gamey and milder than pheasant when young. Season under the skin, roast or grill hard, rest, and use the backbone for stock. Ideal when whole-bird service must finish faster.
