Spatchcock>??? Do I really want to ask??  Sounds like something from a  S&M and bondage movie.

Basically remove the backbone and sternum, which will  make a whole bird lay flat

Funny Sea, I just brine them and cook them as I do chicken.  One box of Stove Top Stuffing i add crushed walnuts--a English thing or Canadian, just family tradition.  Stuff up their insides with the stuffing, add melted butter to the skin and perhaps some sage and roast away.   

I have tried this with adding potatoes and carrots to the pan the hens were roasting in , tried it with with celery and  root vegetables but find the family likes it simple.   Just roasted hens and stuffing. all else on the side. 

Same as we cook Partrage and Pheasant, these have no stuffing but are roasted with just salt and pepper and all else on the side.    Remember if the game is fresh to watch for the shot and spit it out or you can break a tooth.

Maybe I hate those things because we used to have them all the time on the boat and the cooks ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS ****ed them up.

We used to call them "glazed pigeons".  Funny thing is, squab is a pricey item in some restaurants.

Give them about an hour. They should be nicely browned when done, and if you poke them with a fork, the juice should run clear.


That or use your spatchcock.
