Brick Chicken with Grilled Broccolini
Recipe By Michael Weldon
Ingredients
1 whole chicken, back bone cut out and split into 2 pieces through the breast.
2 lemons, cut in half
2 bunches broccolini
1 cup Greek yoghurt
3 garlic cloves, finely grated 2 small cloves
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
Cooked using The Ziggy available at Barbeques Galore
Method
Start the bbq on a medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the chicken, then place the chicken skin side down on the bbq. Place something heavy on top of the chicken, traditionally it is a brick wrapped in foil. Cook the chicken on the skin side for 20 minutes on a low heat.
In a bowl combine the yoghurt, garlic and olive oil, mix together until smooth.
While the chicken is cooking, drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the broccolini and add to the bbq. Add the lemons on to the bbq cut side down and cook until caramelised.
After around 20 minutes, turn the chicken. It should only take under 5 minutes on the other side. Once cooked through to your liking, remove from the heat and allow to rest.
Carve the chicken into 8 pieces. Serve the chicken on the broccolini with the lemon piece and yoghurt on the side. Salt to finish.
