What Is A Butterfly Cut Chicken?
A butterfly cut chicken is a method of preparing and cooking chicken where the backbone and breastbone are removed and the chicken is flattened to resemble a butterfly. This allows the chicken to cook more evenly and reduces the cooking time. It also provides more surface area for seasoning and marinades to be absorbed, resulting in a more flavorful and tender meat. Butterfly cut chicken is a popular choice for grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
