Recipes from the Chef's Kitchen

Ingredients:
1)   One 3 1/2 lb. Whole Chicken
2)   Brick Chicken Marinade
3)   Kosher Salt
4)   Cracked Black Pepper
5)   Mashed Potatoes
6)   Chopped Parsley
7)   Chopped Sage
8)   Chopped Rosemary
9)   Lemon Juice
10) Garlic
 

Preparation:
1) The garlic herb mixture consists of the chopped parsley, chopped
     sage, chopped rosemary, and the garlic mixed with the lemon juice.
2) Measure out the herb mixture using a 2 oz. ladle. Evenly distribute
     the mixture under the skin, making sure to get some herbs
     everywhere. A small amout can be left on top of the skin.
3) Place the marinaded chicken in a 1/2 hotel pan laying flat.
     Cover.
4) The broiler that you use to cook the brick chickens must be
     set all the way on high, with the shelf as close to the broiler
     as possible. Preheat 2 skillets in the broiler.
5) Place the marinaded chicken belly side down on a preheated
     iron skillet. Place 1 more skillet directly on top of the chicken.
     Set the timer for 12-15 minutes. Check the chicken for doneness
     by cutting open a knuckle of one of the drumsticks.
6) Carefully remove the top skillet without tearing the skin of the
     chicken. Use a spatula to remove the chicken from the bottom
     of the skillet and remove from the broiler. Serve with mashed
     potatoes.
