Only okay. I was not impressed with the sour cream mixture...it was just too bland. The directions for removing the back bone were great and easy as I had not done this before. Would cook this way again but only with a different seasoning mixture.

I tried this as posted! My grill is a vertical Beer Keg smoker with a water pot over the heat scource. I laid the chicken down on the grill on each side for 6 minutes which sealed in the juices. Then I filled the water pot with apple juice and let the chicken cook for 2 hours untouched. WOW!!! Thanks for posting!

Fantastic recipe! I was a little worried, but this chicken came off the grill cooked perfectly. Removing the backbone was a bit of work for me, as I had never done it before, but the end result was well worth the extra effort. The meat had GREAT flavor, was super moist, and the skin was really crispy and delicious. Thank you, I'll use this method again. :)

The butterfly technique worked well, the chicken was very tender, but I felt it lacked flavor. Next time I would add a bit of lemon or lime or garlic, something with a kick.

I am rating this recipe based on the technique only. Butterflying a whole chicken is the key to an evenly roasted bird. I butterflied according to these directions, and it came out perfect. I grilled the chicken skin side up, on indirect heat for an hour at 300 degrees. I am watching calories so I slipped some sliced garlic under the skin, sprinkled with some lemon pepper and lime juice and threw it on the hot grill. Don't be intimidated by the butterflying technique. It will change the way you grill chicken!!
