Butterflied Broiled and Whole Oven Baked Chicken Recipe


Recipe By :Julia Child, Possum Kingdom Lake Cookbook
Serves 8
2 Chickens, Whole -- broiler/fryer
3 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1 1/2 Teaspoons Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
1/3 Cup Dijon Mustard
3 Tablespoons Scallion -- minced
1/2 Teaspoon Tarragon
5 Drops Hot Pepper Sauce
1 1/2 Cups Fresh Bread Crumbs

Butterflied chicken. To butterfly a chicken. Choose a 3-1/2 lb.
broiler/fryer chicken. With a heavy knife or sturdy shears, cut down
close to the backbone from neck to tail on each side to remove it. Spread
the chicken skin-side up on your work surface and bang the breast with
your fist to break the collar bones and some of the ribs; this flattens
the chicken. Fold the wings akimbo behind the shoulders, and then make a
slit in the skin at either side of the breast tip. Push the knee of the
drumstick firmly up under the armpit to loosen the joint, then insert the
tip of the drumstick through the skin slit. Repeat on the other side.

Broiling: brush butterflied chicken all over with a combination of butter
and olive oil. Arrange the chicken skin-side down (flesh-side up!) in a
broiling pan (not on a rack) and set them so the surface of meat is about
5" from the hot broiler element. After 5 minutes, brush the flesh, which
should just be starting to brown, with butter and oil. Baste again in 5
minutes - use juices in the pan as butter mixture is used up. Sprinkle
lightly with salt and pepper and turn the chicken skin-side up. Broil and
baste 10 minutes more.

NOTE: For a plain broil with no mustard and crumbs, give 15 rather than
10 minutes to a side, until juices run clear yellow from pricked
drumsticks.

Mustard and herb coating. Drain fat and juices out of pan into a small
bowl; skim off and discard all but about 4 tablespoons of fat from top of
juices.

Blend mustard in another bowl with scallions or shallots, tarragon and hot
pepper sauce.

Beat up reserved fat and juices and blend half of them into the mustard.
Spread the mustard over the chicken, then pat on a coating of fresh white
breadcrumbs. (Cut crusts off homemade-type fresh nonsweet bread; crumb in
a blender or a processor.) Baste crumbs with remaining fat and juices.

Final cooking. Roast in the upper third of a 400-degree oven for 10 to 12
minutes (20 minutes if cooking is delayed). Crumbs should brown lightly.

Chicken is done when drumsticks are tender when pressed.

Carve into serving pieces at the table, or arrange them on a hot platter
in the kitchen.

BARBECUE NOTE:
The crumb coating makes for difficult barbecuing, since the crumbs tend to
burn and fall off into the fire. However, you can use just the mustard
and herb mixture, basted on during the last few minutes of cooking (beat a
few tablespoons of oil into the mustard to take place of chicken fat and
juices).

peppers on top. Assemble just before serving, as the mayonnaise
quickly loses its fresh look.



Devil's BBQ or Broiler Whole Chicken Recipe



Serves 4
4 lb Whole Chicken
1/2 c Olive Oil
2 tb Tabasco Pepper Sauce
Juice Of 2 lemons
1 tb Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Or To Taste
1 t Salt

After Jeff Smith, better known as "The Frugal Gourmet", visited Avery
Island with chef Craig Wollon, he sent his favorite Tabasco sauce
recipe, a grilled or broiled butterflied chicken said to be straight
from the devil. The abundant black pepper compliments the Tabasco
sauce in this simple but distinctive dish.
~---------------------------------------------------------------------
~-- Using poultry shears, cut the whole chicken open by cutting down the
backbone. Flatten it a bit by pounding with your hand so that the
chicken is butterflied. Mix the remaining ingredients in a large
bowl and marinate the chicken for 2 hours.

Prepare a charcoal fire for grilling or preheat the broiler. Grill
the chicken, skin side down, on a medium-hot charcoal barbecue for 25
minutes, or broil it, skin side up, 5 inches below the heat for about
15 minutes. Turn and cook until the juices run clear when the
thickest part is pricked with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes. As the
chicken cooks, baste it with the marinade.

Lagniappe - Add 1/2 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce to the liquid used to
moisten stuffing for turkey or chicken.
