NONNI'S SUNDAY CHICKEN
My Nonna always served this with a simple green salad and a risotto Milanaise on Sundays. We now know that eating chicken fats are unhealthy, but I would diet all month just to have this.

Steps:
- For Mediterranean drizzle:
- garlic and 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt in mortar with pestle or in small bowl with back of spoon until paste forms. Whisk in lemon juice, then oil. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.
- For chicken:
- Whisk lemon juice, parsley, olive oil, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in medium bowl. Place 1 whole chicken in each of 2 resealable plastic bags. Divide lemon marinade between bags. Seal bags, releasing excess air. Turn to coat chicken with marinade. Chill chicken at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, turning bag occasionally.
- Prepare barbecue ( medium heat). If using 2-burner gas grill, light 1 burner. If using 3-burner gas grill, do not light center burner. If using charcoal grill, light briquettes in chimney and pour onto 1 side of lower grill rack (you'll need to light more briquettes in chimney to replenish during grilling). Remove chickens from marinade.
- Sprinkle chickens inside and out with salt and pepper. Tie legs together. Place chickens, breast side down, over unlit side of grill. Cover and grill chickens 45 minutes, adjusting gas levels if using gas grill or adjusting vents and adding more charcoal as needed if using charcoal grill to maintain barbecue temperature between 350°F and 400°F. Turn chickens breast side up. Cover and grill until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 165°F., continuing to maintain barbecue temperature between 350°F and 400°F, about 35 minutes longer. Transfer chickens to work surface; let rest 10 minutes.
- Carve chickens and transfer to platter. Arrange Grilled Lemons, Baby Artichokes, and Eggplant around chickens. Spoon some of Mediterranean drizzle over chicken and vegetables. Garnish with grilled lemons for squeezing over.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown: This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings: The amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder can be adjusted to your taste.
- Serve the chicken immediately: This dish is best served hot, right out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Nonnie's Chicken Sicilian is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and savory. This recipe is sure to become a family favorite.
