Spatchcocked Chicken With A Skin Transplant ;-)

Looks like another good idea for an application of bacon, you can't eat cheesecloth.

the real test would be just cooking the bird sans skin and comparing it to the buttered cheesecloth bird. I would imagine that you will see very little difference in taste or moistness.

looks good though.

In this application, the reasoning with 'artificial skin' was to have a less fattening skin substitute. It is debatable that a butter soaked cloth is less or the same fattening than leaving well enough alone and the skin on.... However, its a very good guess that a Bacon skin replacement is counter-productive & counter-intuitive to lowering the fat.

Bacon'ed spatchcock is common enough in cook pics on the board. I prefer to think of it as "roadkill' chicken, and the bacon is arranged to look like "tire tracks".
