地狱厨房食谱S2E1:砖头鸡

Recipes from Hell's Kitchen S2E1:Brick Chicken with Herb Gremolata
Christina Wilson(前地狱厨房冠军、现地狱厨房副厨)为配合Fox出版的Hell's Kitchen Cookcook做的示范视频,视频下附有非常详细的文字食谱,供大家参考。本食谱需要配合视频使用。





砖头鸡,或者砖头压鸡,是一个外脆里嫩,而且比烤鸡节省一半时间的食谱。砖头鸡的第一步,需要用到一个叫spatchcocking的技巧,就是把背骨去除。然后鸡肉皮朝下在热锅里煎,上面压上重物。如果手头上没有顺手的砖头,找个沉一点的煎锅也可以。重物可以让皮变得酥脆,同时把油和肉汁煎出来,让鸡肉美味多汁。
格莱莫拉塔是一种经典的调味料,材料包括柠檬皮、大蒜、香料。一般用于搭配小牛肉,例如意式炖牛腿。你也可以用来搭配海鲜,来增加亮色。

INGREDIENTS:
GREMOLATA
• 1 tablespoon finely minced lemon peel
• ¼ cup finely minced parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon
• 2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
BRICK CHICKEN
• 1 whole 3- to 4-pound chicken, backbone removed, trimmed of excess fat, rinsed, and dried
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 lemon, cut into quarters
材料:
格莱莫拉塔
• 1汤匙柠檬屑
• 1/4杯切碎的欧芹
• 1汤匙新鲜龙蒿
• 2茶匙细切大蒜
砖头鸡
• 1只3-4磅的全鸡,去除脊椎骨、多余的脂肪,冲洗然后干燥
• 适量粗盐和黑胡椒
• 2汤匙特级初榨橄榄油
• 1个柠檬,切四等份

DIRECTIONS:
FOR THE GREMOLATA
• MIX ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
FOR THE BRICK CHICKEN
• PREHEAT the oven to 500°F.
• MIX 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Place the chicken on a cutting board, skin side down. Using your hands, press down firmly on the breastbone to flatten the breast. Brush the chicken on both sides with the olive oil mixture.
• HEAT an ovenproof skillet (preferably nonstick if you have one) large enough to hold the flattened chicken over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes. Put remaining olive oil in the pan and wait about 30 seconds for it to heat up.
• PLACE the chicken in the skillet, skin side down; weight it with another skillet or with one or two bricks wrapped in aluminum foil. The idea is to flatten the chicken by applying weight evenly over its surface.
• COOK over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, then transfer to the oven. Roast for 15 minutes more. Take the pan out of the oven and remove the weights; turn the chicken over and roast 10–15 minutes more, or until the juices run clear or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F.
步骤:
格莱莫拉塔
混合所有材料,放置备用
砖头鸡
1、烤箱预热500华氏度
2、在碗里把1汤匙的橄榄油、盐和黑胡椒混合。鸡放在砧板上,皮朝下。用手压胸骨,把鸡胸压平。用刷子在两面刷上油
3、烧热一个可以进烤箱的大煎锅(最好是不粘锅),尺寸要能放下摊开的鸡,中高火煎约3分钟。把剩余的油倒进锅里,加热30秒
4、鸡皮朝下放在煎锅上,用另一个煎锅或者一两块包了铝箔纸的砖头作为重物压上。这么做的目的是用均匀的压力把鸡压平
5、用中高温继续加热5分钟,然后进烤箱。烤15分钟。15分钟后,移开重物,鸡翻面,然后再烤10-15分钟,或烤至流出的汁水清澈,用肉温计测量大腿肉最厚的部分应该是165华氏度
