Pollo Al Mattone—Chicken Under a Brick

This recipe is the Italian’s spin on the old favorite. Pollo al Mattone, or Chicken Under a Brick, is an ancient method of cooking that involves removing the backbone of the bird and then weighing it down with a brick to produce a tender moist chicken with the crispiest skin I’ve ever had.
