Mmmm, I saw "squashed" and thought of the veggie, not the bird. Upon seeing your pictures, I do believe some squash or sweet potatoes cooked up with some brown sugar and butter would go VERY nicely with it.

Spatchcocking a chicken is a high art of cuisine in my book. One of the best ways to cook a whole bird.

Limited data limit here so I didn't get to watch the video.

Tell me, what did you wrap it up in before you backed up over it with the bus?

Or, did you just throw it on the ground and all that stuff is over it is just dirt?


Honestly, neither idea sound very enticing !!!!!
