Spiced Rubbed Chicken Under a Brick


Got this great idea for an Indian inspired flavoring for a roasted chicken. First I split a whole chicken and removed the backbone, then made a rub of Ground Cumin, Cinnamon, Allspice, Turmeric, and Pepper, completely covered the 2 halves with the rub, wrapped them in plastic wrap overnight. Once ready to cook, I heated a large frying pan with olive oil and placed them skin side down pressing hard and placing a brick on each piece. Once browned, flipped them over and reapplied the brick with pressure then into a preheated 400* oven to finish cooking. While in the oven I boiled a pot of water for a bottom layer of Tagliatelle with a touch of lemon juice. Added a salad of field greens for a delicious supper.
