Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 (3 to 4 pound) chicken, halved, backbone, rib cage, and thigh bones removed
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup homemade or store-bought, low sodium chicken stock
Thinly sliced heirloom tomatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over high heat. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper; add chicken to skillet, skin side-down and place a 10-inch heavy-bottomed skillet on top of chicken. Place two heavy soup cans or a brick in second skillet to weigh down.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook chicken until skin is golden brown and crisp, about 18 minutes. Remove top skillet and weights and turn chicken; pour off excess fat from skillet.
  • Squeeze lemon juice over chicken and add stock. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken thigh registers 160 degrees, about 3 minutes.
  • Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and divide evenly between two plates. Place each chicken half on a plate and serve immediately with pan juices.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the chicken turned out dry and overcooked. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

The chicken was delicious, but the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

This recipe was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overcooked the chicken. Next time, I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time.
