Spatchcock Smoked Chicken

Spatchcock smoked chicken is a simple but tasty meal that can be cooked on a smoker. However, it can just as easily be cooked on a grill or in the oven.

You can change the herbs to whatever you have on hand, or your favorite combination. The herb butter is also a good accompaniment when sliced and placed on top of a cooked steak or baked potato.

Any leftover chicken is fantastic in sandwiches, baked into casseroles, or used as a filling for enchiladas or tacos. If there are any leftovers, that is!
