"When a man's stomach is full
it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor."
Euripides (BC 480 - 406 Greek Tragic Poet)
Grizzlys BBQ
Flat
Iron
Chicken
is
one
of
the
fastest
and
most
delicious
ways
to
grill
a
whole
bird.
Since
it
is
being
cooked
from
both
the
top
and
the
bottom
it
is
done
in
almost half the time.
Quick and easy, simply:
Cut out the backbone of a whole chicken
Season said chicken with seasoning of your choice
Quickly and easily bbq the chicken with the use of a large cast iron skillet
What could be easier then that….
What You’ll Need
Cast Iron Skillet
Good Poultry Sheers or sharp Knife
1 whole Fryer Chicken
Marinade and / or Dry Rub
How it’s Done:
Take
your
chicken
and
lay
it
out
breast
side
down
with
the
tail
nearest
you.
Cut
the
bird
from
“Stem
to
Stern”
along
either
side
of
the back bone and lay the chicken flat.
Then
run
your
thumb
down
either
side
of
the
keel
bone,
separating
it
from
the
meat.
After
removing
the
keel
bone,
cut
off
both
wing tips. Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry.
From here you can marinate or season the chicken any way you want….the sky’s the limit.
If
your
going
to
marinate,
use
an
oil
based
marinade.
If
your
going
to
just
use
a
dry
rub
be
sure
to
rub
the
bird
down
thoroughly
with some canola oil or EVOO (extra virgin olive oil). This will help the rub to adhere to the bird.
Preheat your grill AND skillet on high for at least 10 minutes.
Liberally season the bird with dry rub (or marinate)
Oil your cooking surface.
Place the chicken bone side down on the cooking grate
Using a towel or glove carefully place the Iron Skillet on top of the chicken
If using a gas grill, lower the heat to low and close the lid.
After about 10-15 minutes turn the chicken and again place skillet on top
After about another 10-15 minutes, I turned the bird again and lightly sprinkled the top with some Mexican Spice Mix.
Just before the chicken is done** I squeeze a little
Black Magic Finishing Sauce
on top to help bring out the flavors.
**Important
Chicken
is
done
when
the
internal
temperature
is
AT
LEAST
165°F.
Do
not
simply
look
for
“clear
juices”
as
an
indication
of
doneness.
