Is spatchcock chicken boneless?

Hey everyone! Just wondering, is spatchcock chicken boneless or does it still have bones? I’m a bit confused about this method and what it involves. Any help would be awesome!

Hi. Hope this will enlighten you. Spatchcock chicken is not necessarily boneless. Spatchcocking refers to a method of preparing poultry by removing the backbone and flattening the bird. This technique makes the chicken cook more evenly and quickly, but it typically leaves the bones intact unless specifically deboned as part of the preparation process. So, spatchcock chicken usually retains its bones, though it is flattened for more even cooking.

Got it! Thanks for clarifying, spatchcocking definitely makes chicken cook way better, bones or not!

Spatchcock chicken isn’t boneless; you just remove the backbone so it lays flat for even cooking. Thanks for asking!

Got it! Spatchcocking's all about that backbone removal to flatten out the chicken for even cooking . Thanks for clearing that up!

Spatchcock chicken still has bones; it’s just that the backbone is removed to make the bird cook more evenly!

Yep, spatchcock chicken means the backbone’s out for even cooking, but the bones are still there! Thanks for pointing that out!
