Chicken Under A Brick Pollo Al Mattone
I've made this before but never linked it back to IMI. I used a Cornish game hen this time around and used my cast iron grill skillet, thus the grill marks.

Nice grill marks! I wish I had a cast iron grill skillet:( I adore the combination of fresh lemon and rosemary with chicken, and your using a Cornish game hen was a terrific idea... Beautiful pic FA!!

I love Cornish hens! One of the few things my mom used to make for us. I've made them once and we enjoyed them! Those are pretty grill marks!

That looks good. Crispy? Whats the purpose of the brick? Just to keep it flat?

I think between having it flat and pressed down with the brick, it cooks quicker. My game hen was done in 35 minutes, which is pretty quick for a whole game hen. The skin does get nice and crispy, too.

I had fun making this! Wanted to use my grill pan like Frankie did but my chicken was too big for it. Just used my enameled cast iron. How can you go wrong with rosemary and lemon? We loved it! Added my pic.

That is a great recipe. I loved that one. Your pan looks like it is a pretty blue color?

I think you said you have the same pan as me before. It's the Le Crueset braiser, Caribbean blue. My lighting in my kitchen did not do the color justice, made it look more dull!

OK. Yes, I do have that same fabulous blue pan!! I love mine as well. But, yep, the color did look a bit different. Pretty though. Blue is my favorite color. :)
