CHICKEN UNDER A BRICK: 🏆How to cook the best chicken under a brick -By chef Gérard Garbé
Today I am going to prepare and cook a chic ken under a brick!
Yes! Under a Brick ! A different way of cooking the chicken, but you will definitely enjoy the best chicken you’ve ever had.
This is one of my favorite chicken that end up with a beautifully burnished crisp skin a succulent flesh with a BBQ taste, the lot drizzled with this amazing Diable sauce. A MUST- Yummy.

During the cooking the hot brick will press the chicken and push the moisture in the middle of the meat, giving you this incredible flavor and juicy texture.
This way your chicken will cook more evenly and resulting in a faster cooking time leaving this incredible savour and softness.
You will also and definitely save 50 % of gas or electricity

Ingredient:
1 chicken (1 to 2 kg)
50 g Dijon Mustard
5cl red wine vinegar
Salt pepper oregano
Sour cream
Chives.
Parsley
Corn, peas , carrots, and potatoes

Sauce Diable :
1 shallot thinly diced
20 g of butter
40 ml of Tarragon vinegar
1 tsp of Dijon Mustard
100 ml of white wine
1 TBSP of dry or fresh tarragon
300 ml of beef stock
1 tsp of tomato paste
8 pepper corn
Salt
2 to 4 drops of tabasco

Method: THE CJICKEN UNDER A BRICK
1- To begin, with foil paper, wrap your bricks leaving the shiny side on the outside. Wrap potatoes and carrots with light spray.
2-Warm up your oven at 180⁰C, insert your stones. (add also your potatoes and carrots wrapped in foil.
(you won’t believe how delicious and tender your carrots will be) Warm up your grill pan too.
During this time, we will spatchcock the chicken, or butterfly it.
Place the breast-side down on the chopping board.
Use a kitchen sheerer and remove the backbone from the neck to the tail so the bird can be opened like a book and laid flat during the cooking.
Remove also the small bones of the rib cage.
You can cut the wing tips for a better presentation.
Don’t waste the chicken bones of the carcass, but freeze them, and when you’ll have enough you can make a fresh chicken stock. see my recipe on the right corner.
3- When the chicken is ready and flat, add generously salt and pepper, rub some olive oil and both side.
4-When the grill pan is smoking hot, add your chicken, flat, skin side down first, and grill for 2 minutes. Turn your chicken around 90 degrees for another 2 minutes to obtain a nice quadrille.
5- Do the same on the other side.
6- When both sides are marked, Generously brush both sides with a French Dijon Mustard diluted with a small red vinegar.
You will obtain a paint like texture, add some salt, cracked pepper and Oregano.
7- In your baking tray spray some olive oil, add your chicken skin side down first.
Cover the chicken with your hot bricks and cook in your oven at 180C for 20 minutes
8- After 20 minutes flip the chicken and cook it for an extra 2 minutes to roast the top.

During the roasting of the chicken, you can prepare the Famous Sauce Diable, an amazing little spicy sauce than will match perfectly your Chicken under a brick.

Method: The DIABLE SAUCE
1- In a small pan add the diced shallot, the crushed pepper corn , the tarragon vinegar and the white wine and boil and reduce 75% the white wine

3- Adjust the seasoning and add 2 drops of tabasco.
4- Filter the sauce in a fine sieve.
5- Just before serving add 20 g of soft butter and swirl by turning the Jug.
Keep in Bain Marie until serving time (add glad wrap on the surface to avoid the drying on the surface.
