Combine the Cajun seasoning mix.
Rub the poussin all over with the olive oil.

Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Grill the spatchcock for 15 minutes each side, brushing occasionally with a little olive oil.
The spatchcock poussin can be cooked on the barbecue, or oven-baked in a preheated oven of 200°C for 40 to 50 minutes.
Poussins are cooked when the juices run clear from the thigh when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife.
