1 To grill the hens evenly, you will want to flatten the birds in a method called spatchcocking. To do this, start by trimming off any excess fat and the wingtips from the game hens. Turn the birds over and use kitchen shears to cut out their backbones. Use your hands to flatten the birds.

Phenols are the aromatic organic compounds that have a hydroxyl group directly connected to a ring and alcohols are the non-aromatic compounds that have a hydroxyl group connected to the main chain. The difference is that one is cyclic and one is non-cyclic. phenol consists of an $\ce{-OH}$ bonded to an unsaturated $sp^2$ carbon. Thus, it does not qualify as an alcohol. One can classify it as an enol, though. Really, to me, the classification doesn't matter. Classifications are artificial, what is important is how well the properties fit in the classification.
Although similar to alcohols, phenols have unique distinguishing properties. Unlike alcohols, where the hydroxyl group is bound to a saturated carbon atom, phenols have the hydroxyl group attached to an unsaturated aromatic (alternating double and single bond) hydrocarbon ring such as benzene.henol was first extracted from coal tar, but today is produced on a large scale (about 7 billion kg/year) from petroleum. It is an important industrial commodity as a precursor to many materials and useful compounds.
