Fortunately, Trader Joe's has done all that prep for you by working with a supplier to sell a perfectly [seasoned, read-to-cook spatchcocked chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-street-chicken). The new BBQ Seasoned Spatchcocked Chicken is pre-butterflied and flattened, and then marinated in a blend of apple juice, maple syrup, honey, mustard, coffee, and peppery BBQ seasonings.
