SMOKY GRILLED BUTTERFLIED CHICKEN



Smoky Grilled Butterflied Chicken image

A spicy smoked-paprika marinade gives skin-on butterflied chicken a robust flavor. To give the chicken even more flavor, loosen the skin with your hand and spread some of the mixture underneath before grilling.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup sherry vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 whole chicken (3 to 4 pounds), rinsed

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, oil, garlic, paprika, and salt in a nonreactive baking dish or large resealable plastic bag.
  • Remove backbone from chicken using kitchen shears. Place chicken, breast side up, on cutting board, with legs extended on both sides. Press firmly on breastbone to break it and flatten chicken. Add to marinade. Cover dish or seal bag, and refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight), turning occasionally.
  • Preheat grill to medium. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 or 6 seconds.) Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Place chicken, skin side down, on grill. Close cover, and grill 15 minutes. Flip chicken, and close cover. Grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees, about 20 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the chicken spread will be. Look for free-range, organic chicken and fresh herbs.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
  • Shred the chicken finely: This will make the chicken spread smooth and easy to spread.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will give the chicken spread a complex and flavorful taste.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make chicken spread. Try different combinations of herbs, spices, and ingredients until you find one that you love.

Conclusion:

Smoky chicken spread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for sandwiches, wraps, salads, and crackers. It can also be used as a dip or a spread for vegetables. No matter how you choose to eat it, you are sure to enjoy this flavorful and satisfying dish.
