Split a whole chicken and put minced garlic, S&P, herbs and lemon zest under the skin for a few hours. Throw it on the grill and press it down using a foil-covered brick. Pair with grilled asparagus and, if you'd like, a slice of grilled artisan bread with a little olive oil. Pairing: Sancerre or bubbly.


Cheers!

BRR I have never made "Brick Chicken" before, although I have heard of it. Rothko this is a meal to impress my stomach/palate. I am becoming bored with my "classics". I will be going to the grocery/wine store today and would like to try something different. Thanks for the replies.

Reservations…


For tomorrow night, get a nice big pork loin and deeply score it. Get a can of Chipotle chilies in adobo sauce take about 3 chilies and some adobo sauce chop the chilies (and remove some of the seeds if you don’t like it too hot), in a pan melt a package of unripened goats cheese and throw in the chilies. Coat the pork with the melted cheese, cover and put in the fridge until tomorrow. Tomorrow night, grill it on your bbq until done and nice and charred on the edges. Have with some grilled zucchini, tomatoes and polenta. I would pair it with a nice semi-dry Riesling to cut through the heat.

With the warm weather finally arriving, I've been craving my cold pesto pasta salad. A basic pesto sauce, sun dried tomatoes (packed in olive oil) a medley of julienned bell peppers, carrots, and finely chopped broccoli florets, smoked gouda cheese cubed, and freshly grated parmesan. Occasionally I'll add some diced salami or pepperoni. Serve with a crusty baguette. A nice Zin or Syrah fits the bill for this dish. Wink

I've done it twice now (both times using, more or less, the recipe from Cooks Illustrated) and we've loved it both times. Crispy skin, very tender and moist meat. It just screams "Springtime" to me.


Cheers!

Just read this and want to try it..but I have a few questions. How many times do you score it...cris crossed about 2" apart like you would a ham about 1/4" deep? Grill indirect and finish direct? Should take about an hour?
