It's funny how once summertime comes knocking on our door, we instantly take up our tongs and our post in front of the BBQ for the season, speed-grilling kebabs, vegetable slices and juicy steaks in mere minutes. What about those bigger pieces of meat that require a little more effort that a quick flip-flip-turn to cook? Who wants to man the grill for longer than 10 minutes? Here's one way - use you BBQ to roast the meat, covered, and untouched, while you entertain your dinner guests and sip your margaritas! Cooking an entire chicken is a fast and easy way to feed a hungry family, and flattening it under bricks cuts the cooking time in half, with juicy, flavorful results every time. Try it out, I know that this chicken will easily become one of your summer favorites.
For the chicken, you'll need:
- 2 to 3 lb. chicken
- 1/4 c. softened butter
- 1/4 c. chopped fresh herbs (include what you like, or what you have on hand - I used parsley, thyme and chives)
- salt and pepper
- oil for the grill
Tools you will need:
- a pair of chicken shears, or very sharp kitchen shears (able to cut through chicken ribs)
- chef's knife
- cutting board
- tongs
- silicon brush for grill
- digital or meat thermometer
- barbecue
Great!
Thank you!
the chicken looks delicious!!!
