GRILLED FLATTENED PAPRIKA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Stir olive oil with paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin. Set aside.
• Rub spice mixture on all sides of chicken. Also push spices under the skin, being careful to leave skin attached to meat.
• Grease BBQ grates well. Preheat one side of grill to medium-high heat, leaving heat off on other side for indirect cooking.
• Grill chicken, breast side down for 8 to 10 minutes until skin is cooked well enough to release from grill and grill marks are browned. Flip and cook another 10 to 12 minutes. Move chicken to indirect heat side of BBQ. With lid down, cook for another 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until an instant read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the inner thigh registers 180°F (82°C)
• Remove chicken from grill. Let rest 10 minutes before carving.

GRILLED FLATTENED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix first 3 ingredients until well blended; reserve 1/4 cup for later use.
• Place chicken, breast-side down, on cutting board. Use kitchen shears to remove backbone. Turn chicken over; press on breastbone to flatten chicken. Place, skin-side up, in shallow dish; tuck in wings. Brush with remaining dressing mixture. Refrigerate 2 hours to marinate, turning chicken occasionally.
• Heat grill to medium heat. Cover grate with heavy-duty foil; spray with cooking spray. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Place chicken, breast-side down, on foil. Grill 45 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF), turning after 10 min. Transfer to cutting board. Tent with foil; let stand 10 min. Meanwhile, brush asparagus with reserved dressing mixture. Grill 6 to 8 min. or until crisp-tender, turning occasionally. Slice chicken; serve with asparagus.

BRINED AND FLATTENED JUICY GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Whisk and dissolve the salt in the water in a medium bowl.
• Flatten the chicken breasts. Place one chicken breast in a sealable clear bag over a cutting board, and beat it with a meat mallet/tenderizer until it's about 1/2 inch thick all around. Repeat for all chicken breasts.
• Place the chicken breasts in the brine, cover with plastic wrap, and place the bowl in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to about 400 ºF.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the bowl and pat each one dry with paper towel.
• Place all 4 flattened chicken breasts, side by side on a large serving dish.
• In a small bowl, mix together all the spices.
• Sprinkle the spices evenly over all 4 chicken breasts, on both sides.
• Drizzle some oil on a paper towel or old clean cloth towel and use tongs to brush the oil over the grill grates.
• Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill and close the lid. Cook for about 2 minutes.
• Open the lid and (without flipping) rotate the chicken breasts 45 degrees to create the cross hatch. The 45 degree angle is just for asthetics and doesn't need to be exact. Close the lid and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Flip the chicken breasts and repeat the last 2 steps.
• Your chicken is ready to be served! Serve on a ceaser salad, with fries, over some pasta, or any side you love. Enjoy!

GRILLED SPATCHCOCKED GREEK CHICKEN

Steps:

• To spatchcock the chicken, use strong kitchen scissors or poultry shears and cut down either side of the spine. Pull out the spine, turn the chicken over and press down on the breast of the chicken to flatten it out to one thickness.
• Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Put the chicken in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag in a rimmed dish. Pour in half of the marinade, reserving the rest for serving later. Seal the bag and rotate it around to evenly distribute the marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season generously all over with salt and pepper; let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Place the chicken skin-side up on the indirect side of the grill with the legs facing the hotter side. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone) reads 150 to 160 degrees F (almost cooked through), about 50 minutes.
• Move the chicken over to the direct-heat side of the grill. After 2 minutes, flip the chicken to char and crisp up the skin side, another 3 or 4 minutes. Check that the temperature in the thigh is now at least 165 degrees F. If it is not, then move the chicken back to the indirect side, cover and cook until the final temperature is reached. Remove from the grill; let rest 20 minutes before carving.
• Stir the scallions and dill into the reserved marinade. Drizzle over the chicken or serve on the side.

FLATTENED PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• To prep the chicken:
• On a work surface, place the chicken breast-side down with the neck of the chicken facing you. Using kitchen shears, cut along the length of the backbone on both sides and remove. Turn the chicken over, breast-side up. Open it on the counter and flatten the chicken as much as you can with your hands.
• In a large metal bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, and hot water, until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the onion, peppercorns, tarragon, garlic, ice water, and wine. Stir well. Add the chicken to the brine. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the brine and dry well with paper towels. Set the chicken aside. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the hot skillet, and then place the chicken into the skillet skin-side down. Place another heavy pan on the chicken pressing it down firmly to get maximum skin contact with the hot skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook under the weight for 8 to 10 minutes. Once browned, remove the weights; turn the chicken skin-side up. Place the chicken in the oven until the meat is 160 degrees F, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let the chicken rest 10 minutes before serving.

GRILLED FLATTENED CHICKEN WITH SPICY ROASTED CORN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mash together herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic to make a paste.
• Place chicken on a cutting board breast side down and, using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut along the backbone of the chicken lengthwise on both sides removing it completely. If using a knife, be careful not to cut through to the breast. Turn chicken over and gently press down on the breastbone to "flatten".
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both front and back. Gently loosen the skin on the breasts by running your fingers underneath. Spread about one quarter of the herb mixture under the skin. Rub the remaining mixture over the front and back of the chicken. Place chicken on a plate and wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to two hours.
• Place chicken on preheated greased grill over medium-high heat, skin side up and grill uncovered for 55 to 60 minutes, turning over every 10 to 15 minutes or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced and meat thermometer reaches 165°F (74°C).
• In a small bowl, combine butter, lime juice, chili flakes, chili powder and salt. Rub each cob of corn with butter mixture. Grill over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes turning occasionally or until corn is tender. Serve with additional butter if desired!

NIF'S BUTTERFLIED GRILLED WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat both sides of barbeque to high heat. While it is heating up, prepare chicken:.
• Place whole chicken on a baking sheet, breast side down. With kitchen shears, cut down each side of back bone and discard. Rinse chicken with cool water and place back on baking sheet, again breast side down.
• Sprinkle your desired amount of rub on the inside of the chicken and massage into the meat. Flip over, press the chicken down if it's not laying flat, and repeat the rub. Make sure you have coated the whole chicken.
• On BBQ, turn one side of grill off. Place chicken on the turned off side, breast side down. By doing that, you will get beautiful grill marks without the flare-ups and it will cook in indirect heat. BBQ for 15 minutes.
• Flip over in same area on grill and cook for another 25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 180°F.
• Remove from grill onto a clean baking sheet or plate. Tent with tin foil for at least 10 minutes before cutting up chicken.
