Ingredients

4	Whole	Spatchcock(s)	Small, halved along the breast bone
8	Slice(s)	Prosciutto	Thin
8	Sprig(s)	Fresh Thyme
4	Tbsp	Honey	Top quality, try the Italian elderflower or lavender varieties, or a top quality local product

Directions

Heat the char grill to medium heat. Place a sprig of fresh thyme or a pinch of dried on each spatchcock half and wrap a slice of pancetta around each, then sear quickly on the grill.

Reduce the heat to medium and close the lid on the barbecue, cooking for ten minutes more.

Open the lid and drizzle the honey over the spatchcock halves, then close the lid and cook for a few more minutes or until the juices run clear when the point of a knife is inserted to the thickest part of the bird.

Grate a little black pepper over the top and serve with mashed potato, celeriac or parsnips.
