Brick Chicken

Ingredients

1 whole chicken
Brine
Paprika
Salt/Pepper
Heavy cast iron skillet


Brine chicken for 1 hour or overnight if you have the time.

Take chicken out rinse and pat dry. Using kitchen shears cut out the backbone and flatten the chicken. Sprinkle each side with a little pepper. Then cover the chicken in a healthy dose of paprika. You can use either hot or sweet.

Heat Stove top grill to medium high. If using outdoor grill have the flame medium high as well. When grill is ready place chicken under side down (not breast side) and then place cast iron on top. This will help the chicken cook fast and keep a even sear. Cook for 15 Min's then flip and cook for another 15 Min's or until cooked to your liking. When done let rest for 5 to 10 Min's and feel free to give a fresh dusting of paprika. Then cut into sections. The chicken should be super crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside.
