Instructions:
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients until smooth. Keep refrigerated until ready to grill.
  2. To spatchcock the chicken, use sharp kitchen scissors to remove the backbone. Flatten the chicken by pressing down on the breasts.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Generously brush the chicken with the sriracha-ranch sauce.
  4. Place the chicken, breast side down, on the grill, and cook for 15 minutes. Continue to brush the chicken with the sauce every 5 minutes. Flip the chicken, and cook for an additional 15 minutes or until thoroughly done (when the internal temperature reaches 165°F), continuing to brush the chicken every 5 minutes.

Tip: You can also ask the butcher at your grocery store to spatchcock the chicken for you.
