Grillman
is Blowin Smoke!
A couple of weeks ago I cooked this Chicken, but; didn't get it posted here.
Back about 1984 or thereabouts....I went to a new fast food type restaurant,
called....El Pollo Loco.....which means; The Crazy Chicken.
It tasted pretty good...and I noticed it was VERY flat....so I tried to get a
view of where they were cooking it to see what they were doing.
They were grilling the Chickens "butterflied" ...with the wings removed.
So the next time I cooked a Chicken I split it down the breast and opened it
up on the cutting board; and using both hands I pressed down very firmly
breaking all the rib bones...so the Chicken lay very flat.
I liked the way it turned out; and have been doing it that way ever since.
Here it is just after putting it on the grill...I had removed the Breast bone
and you can see it cooking (for a snack) with the wings.
I turned it over to give it a nice sear...then moved it to the side to
finish it by Indirect heat.
Here it is on the cutting board rested and now ready to be cut up.
Here is the results...some sliced breast meat & a leg quarter & wing,
it was very juicy and tasty.
