Top-Shelf Chicken Under A Brick Recipe

Recipe By Southern Living

Crispy chicken and cast-iron skillet potatoes work together in this juicy brick chicken recipe thats perfect for weeknight dinners and supper club, alike. Using the weight of a cast-iron skillet filled with potatoes, the dish uses a chicken under a brick technique to push the chicken flat against your hot grill grates. This method not only cuts your cooking time in half, but it also helps sear in the chickens flavor and juices while creating a perfectly brown, crispy skin. Better yet, theres no juggling three pans on the stove while the chicken is on the grill with this recipe. Your side dish will cook at the same time. Now that just might give new meaning to the phrase, two birds, one stone, if you ask us.
