When you spatchcock it or cut the backbone out and lay it open like that, you eliminate the hollow cavity and increase the cooking surface. In doing so, it will cut down the cooking time by 1/3 - 1/2.
When there is a hollow cavity, people usually stuff it with edible stuff. But what happens is that the stuffing dies not reach correct temp and kill the bacteria that gets trapped there.
If you want to stuff it with something to fill the void, use halved onions, oranges, apples, garlic...just make sure you discard it before serving.

Last year I stuffed it with apples and pears and some orange slices on the breasts turned out great but I like the shorter cook time,
