Marco Pierre White's spatchcocked chicken with chipolatas recipe
- 2 baby chickens
- 1 stock cube/pot
- 2 sprigs of rosemary
- 1 lemon
- 3 sprigs of parsley
- 1 splash olive oil
- 4 chipolata sausages
- 1 tsp sea salt
- Spatchcock - that is, flatten out - the baby chicken as I do in the video.
- Bring a pan of water seasoned with one stock cube/pot to the boil, then pop the chickens into the poaching liquor, turn down the heat and poach them for ten minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and allow them to rest on the side for ten minutes before grilling.
- I always keep the poaching liquor afterwards to make a delicious soup base.
- I don't like to be wasteful.
- Heat the grill pan (or barbecue) until it's very hot.
- Massage a little olive oil into the chicken breast and legs, flatten them down, skewer them through as I do in the video, then put them on the grill.
- When they start to brown, remove the skewers.
- Turn them over, then brown the other side.
- While they are cooking, fry the chipolatas.
- To make the rosemary salt, mix finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves, sea salt and a splash of olive oil together to make a seasoning salt.
- When the chickens are ready, garnish them with chipolata sausages, a few sprigs of parsley and half a lemon.
- Drizzle with a little good quality olive oil to serve.
