      Bruh you misunderstood, don’t gaslight. They didn’t spatchcock their bird, they broke it down/butchered it into individual pieces, dry brined it, and roasted it

        Broder, don’t white knight at windmills. They didn’t read the article and posted a wild guess (incorrect) as justification for a glibly ignorant opinion.

        Also, broke down/butchered is an approximation, sure, but “adding salt & pepper” to said carrion pile is as much “dry brining” as “soaking” isn’t sex.

        We can do better.

          Dawg they clearly said they cut their bird up into pieces, describing a process very obviously distinct from spatchcocking, yet you took that and ran all the way to spatchcocking for some reason, and then got upset that they don’t have the astounding culinary background you seem to think you have I guess? “Broke down/butchered” is not an approximation, they’re more technical terms for the exact process they’re describing. Dry brining is nothing more than putting salt on meat and letting it rest for a period of time. Calling someone “glibly ignorant” for not knowing those culinary terms, and describing their process as “adding salt pepper to a carrion pile” is reductive, elitist, and arrogant, no windmills about it.

          I looked at the article about spatchcocking. It did not resemble what I did. I also looked at the link about culantro vs cilantro and made an educated guess, having accidentally soap-fumed my kitchen in the past by chopping up cilantro. Were you telling me I should try spatchcocking next year? Based on how things cooked this year, I doubt I’ll be doing that. Different parts of the bird cooked at different rates and needed to come off of the fire pit at different times. Are you just some smartass trying to show off what you learned in culinary school this week? That’s a good way to become a meme, like a certain high school kid in the 2000s who had seen plenty of photoshops in his time and wanted the world to know about it.

            Ya know? I sit, corrected. I assumed laziness, and that was not based on anything I know of you personally, ofc, so that’s on me. FWIW, I had pictured my comment being helpful, if a little sharp, and I should’ve done everyone here the kindness of fixing the latter.

            To the other point, I’m retired from a decades-long culinary career that spanned continents and facilitated some of my most adventurous, incredible experiences.

            I do apologize for my ridiculousness. My private life’s been teetering for months, and I think it’s reached a Rubicon. I hope you find all sorts of wonderment in your future projects, in kitchens and beyond, to share that inspiration with others around you. This world needs more of that.

                Wherever you’re not, cupcake. Read a book sometime. Might be just enough — though, likelier not. 🤣🖖🏽
