Re: STRANGE CHICKEN NAME

@Sooner LOL - that is one of the reasons I don't cook. Don't even like the sound of haveing to prepare a chicken with scissors and making broth out of those parts. I prefer someone else doing it and I will eat it not knowing what went into preparing it.

The first time I actually bought a chicken when first married and opened the package and turned the chicken over and saw the underside and insides that did it for me. I was done with any interest in cooking.

Yes I've heard of it. I've been watching cooking shows some I was a kid with Julia and Galloping Gourmet.

I've never spatchcocked a chicken but my best Friend spatchcocked their Turkey for Thanksgiving this year. Cooked a lot faster.

@KathyM23 LOL!!!! That stuff doesn't bother me. I could cup up a chicken when I was 14.

LOL!!! I have never cut up a chicken. If I did that I could not eat it. I sure could not do that at 14. I did not have a clue how to cook when we got married when I was 18. I got married 8 days after I turned 18 since my parents told me I could not get married. We both know how to cook now. YUM!!! Sure beats fast food.

@Nightowlz LOL!!!! I was 20 and my parents were peeved! I cooked summers for the family from 14 to 20--when I got married and wasn't home summers from school. It's great when both of you cook!!! We do too! We had to!

I thought my folks thought I was too young to get married. But maybe they didn't want to lose the cook???

I probably first heard the term on a cooking show, many years ago.

Interesting name. Well, I'm not interested enough to look it up but kind of wonder how the name came about. If I looked it up I'd just forget, anyway, so I don't bother.

I haven't heard the term but I don't buy whole chickens anymore. I did cut the backs out myself when I bought chickens whole.

Yes, I'm familar with that word but I'm not sure where I learned it. I don't watch cooking shows so I must have read it somewhere. In any case, I've never cooked a bird that's been cut that way. (And it is a weird word.)
