Prep Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 4 to 5 pound whole chicken
  • Avocado or olive oil
  • Kent’s Mesquite seasoning or all-purpose seasoning of your choice
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 yellow onions chopped
  • 3 large carrots thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 1 tablespoon Original Seasoning or seasoning of your suiting
  • cup frozen corn
  • ½ cup chopped parsley
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 store bought pie crusts or our best flaky crust see below

Instructions

  • Spatchcock the chicken by laying it down on its breast. With a knife or scissors, cut the backbone out. Mash the chicken down to break the breast bone so it will lay flat. Clip the wing tips off.
  • Pat the chicken down with paper towels to dry well. Generously rub with avocado oil or olive oil. Season well with Mesquite seasoning or seasoning of your choice.
  • Place on the indirect side of a preheated grill to 240 to 250 degrees F. Cook for about 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees F. Remove and set aside to cool. Shred into bite size pieces.
  • In a large cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the onions and carrots. Cook for about 8 minutes or until the carrots are tender. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. Stir in the garlic.
  • Sprinkle in the flour and mix well. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Pour in the broth, heavy cream and thyme. Simmer for about 4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Season with Original seasoning, or salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the shredded chicken, corn and parsley. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
  • Place 1 pie crust in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or pan pie pan and top with the chicken mixture. Top with the remaining pie crust and cut several vent holes.
  • Bake in a preheated oven to 425 degrees F. for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
