About this cut

What makes this cut.

Air-chilled whole bird. Crispier skin, cleaner flavor, ready for the roasting pan or spatchcock-and-grill.

Cooking notes

01
Bring to room temp
Take the cut out 30–45 minutes before cooking. Cold meat sears unevenly.
02
Season generously
Coarse salt and pepper just before the heat. Let the meat speak.
03
Hot, dry heat
Cast iron or a screaming hot grill. Patience on the first side builds the crust.
04
Rest before cutting
Five minutes minimum. The juices redistribute — this step earns the price.

My partner doesn't usually care about meat quality. She noticed immediately.

I drove across town for this and it was 100% worth the trip.
