A Sutton Hoo Spatchcock is a truly free range chicken which has had its backbone carefully removed so it can be opened up and flattened out like a book, or in other words ‘butterflied’. This way, it cooks much faster and more evenly than a whole bird, yet still retaining even more succulence as the juices stay on the breast meat. The chicken is then marinated and vacuumed packed to retain moisture and freshness.
This way of eating chicken is delicious because it retains more succulence and only takes around 30 minutes to cook, making it the perfect quick weekday supper or summer lunch on the BBQ for around 4 people.
A spatchcock chicken is ideal for barbecues - cook over a medium heat with the lid down for 30 minutes (remember to turn half way through). Alternatively to cook in the oven, heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook for 35-40 minutes on a baking tray. To char the skin, grill for a further 5-10 mins.
