Spatchcock Chicken Instructions

Cut out the backbone from the chicken with sheers or a sharp knife.
Press down hard on the breast bone to break it so the chicken will lay nice and flat.
Spray the chicken with cooking spray or use olive oil for the binder.
Season the entire bird with BBQ seasoning. Pat down to stick.
Set the grill for indirect cooking and the temp at 375 degrees.
Place the chicken skin side up and cook until the breast registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees. This should take approximately 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken.
When the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooled off, shred the meat and set aside for the assembly.

Dip Assembly Instructions

In a cast iron, start with a layer of your favorite cheese dip or spread followed by a later of shredded cheddar cheese
Next, add a generous layer of chicken. Be sure to fill it up almost to the top.
In a separate bowl, mix together ranch dressing with the hot sauce and pour it over the chicken.
Top it all off with another layer of shredded cheddar and gorgonzola cheese crumbles.
Finally, sprinkle some crispy bacon and this smoked chicken dip is ready for its final melt.
Set it back on the grill for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted
