Directions

  1. Remove the backbone and split the chicken in half. Mix together 1/2-c. extra virgin olive oil, orange juice and zest, cumin, curry, brown sugar, garlic and parsley. Marinate the chicken in the mix for 1 hour, covered in the refrigerator.
  2. Place an ovenproof skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat for about 3 min. Put the remaining 1/4-c. extra virgin olive oil into the warm skillet and wait 1 minute for it to heat up.
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade, season all over with salt and pepper. Place the chicken halves in the skillet, skin-side down. Wrap 2 bricks in aluminum foil and set them on top of the chicken. The weight will flatten the chicken resulting in a very crispy skin.
  4. Cook on the stovetop for 10 min, then transfer the weighted skillet to a preheated 450 degree oven. Roast for 15 to 20 min. Use a thin metal spatula to pry the chicken from the pan so not to tear the skin.
  5. This recipe yields 3 servings.
