I wonder if it's a regional thing? I'm not familiar with the Georgian recipe, but having been there I imagine fruit was used. I love the "flatties." A friend butterflies chicken and duck and grills them using a brick wrapped in foil as the weight. Crisp as can be! Hi, Tess – I haven’t seen or heard the word spatchcocking in ages.

I’m not familiar with the Georgian recipe, but having been there I imagine fruit was used. I love the “flatties.” A friend butterflies chicken and duck and grills them using a brick wrapped in foil as the weight. Crisp as can be!

And for grilling a turkey, it's really great: done it many times even in the cold Novembers of Michigan. I think the first time I tried this was many years ago with a Georgian Russian recipe where the chicken was spatchcocked, then seasoned and pressed flat under a weight to cook. Seem to remember fruits and nuts being involved, but perhaps that is just me !?!?? Hi ella~
