The weight of the bricks helps the chicken cook evenly, leaving the breast moist and juicy, while the legs cook fully. Marinating the chicken tenderizes the meat and also adds a pleasant tangy flavor. Ingredients:
1 (3 1/4-pound) whole chicken |
1/2 cup light mayonnaise |
1/3 cup cider vinegar |
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Remove backbone from chicken using kitchen shears. Combine mayonnaise and next 4 ingredients in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add chicken. Seal and turn to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 8 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2. Remove chicken from marinade, and discard marinade. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan. Place 2 bricks wrapped in heavy-duty foil over chicken, pressing down to flatten. Cook 20 minutes; turn chicken over. Reposition bricks. Cook an additional 20 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove skin from chicken, and cut into quarters. Carve chicken.
3. Serve with: Summer Succotash
