Chicken
With Preserved Lemon & Rosemary
Laurent Tourondel, BLT Steak
Serves 4
3 sticks butter, softened
2 tablespoons chopped rosemary
6 tablespoons finely diced onion
1 1⁄4 cups fresh bread crumbs
1⁄2 cup rinsed, diced preserved-lemon rind
(available at Kalustyan’s)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 31⁄2-pound chickens, butterflied
6 tablespoons olive oil
Combine butter, rosemary, onion, bread crumbs, and
preserved lemon in a bowl, and season to taste with
salt and pepper. Gently separate the chicken skin from
the flesh, and stuff this mixture in between, covering
the breast and thighs with a 1⁄4-inch layer.
Brush the chickens with oil, and season to taste with
salt and pepper.
Heat the grill to medium-high. Place the chickens on
the grill skin-side down, and cook until the skin is
brown, 4 to 5 minutes, moving to a cooler spot if the
coals start to flare up. Turn the chickens over, close
the grill hood, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the
juices |
