Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I cut this fabulous recipe out of the Sacramento Bee on 7/9/1993. It has a great, hearty taste and always ends up being completely devoured.

From the newspaper clipping: "This recipe is from 'Irish Country Cooking' by Norma and Gordon Latimer. Spatchcock comes from 'dispatch cock,' or to kill a bird and cook it in a hurry. This is a very old method of cooking chicken."

Hint: the bigger the croutons, the better. They soak up the beer nicely!
