In about two gallons of water i added 1 cup of salt 1 cup of brown sugar and 3 tablespoons of insta cure #1.
The beast soaked for around 30 hours in this solution that I dreamed up.
It was then taken out rinsed and dried off.
After that is was laid out and the back bone was cut out flipped over and flattened out.
This requires some effort but you will know when it happens as you will hear a load snap.
This is called Spatchcocking.
Since I couldn't find a pan big enough for tbe bird to sit in I used an old oven rack and put two large pans under it to catch the drippings.
A thermometer was placed in the breast and set at 150 F.
We shall see how this experiment turns out.
