Today I would like to share my favorite way to cook a chicken. It requires almost no effort and the result is probably the most juicy and flavorful chicken you will ever eat. I promise.
You will have to excuse the quality of some of my pictures. I snapped these with my iPhone and am still trying to figure out what lens/settings are best in the Hipstamatic App.

Start off by heating your grill. My personal preference is charcoal, but if you are
using a gas grill, I won't hold that against you. For you charcoal
users, make sure you spread the heated briquettes in a nice even layer. You don't want any hot spots.
I prepared the chicken by removing the backbone with a sharp pair of kitchen shears. Liberally season the inside and outside of your bird with whatever makes you happy. I opted for gremolatta which is a blend of salt, pepper, garlic and lemon zest. Lay the chicken bone side down on the grill making sure to press it flat.

Now for the fun part. Lay something heavy on top of the chicken. As you can see, I used one of my big cast iron frying pans. A brick or two wrapped in aluminum foil works well too.
Put the lid on the grill and let the chicken cook for about 20 minutes.

Remove the weight and flip the chicken so that it rests skin side down.

Replace the pan or brick, close the grill and let the chicken cook for another 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to sit for a few minutes before carving.
See how easy that was? I hope you will give this method a try.
