Cooking can be fun or a chore, I rather it be fun! There isn't an easy way out if you have high standards and want something tasty, but you can make it a bit easier with the help of the butcher at your local market. Here is an example of of what I asked my butcher to do, even though I could do it myself. I bought Cornish Game Hens and asked him if he would butterfly them and remove the breast and back bones. Sure he said, but it will be a few minutes, so come back before you check out. Wow he did a great job, and I told him so---he was very happy that I recognized his skill. I explained that I was going to grill them pressed with a brick and he said yum! I then gave him a five dollar tip for the extra service he provided!
I had it all planned, I was going to make an Italian favorite. A version of the classic chicken grilled over wood and charcoal, marinated with garlic, lemon and rosemary, with the weight of a brick pressing down on it. This method produces one delicious bird! Here's the recipe and a picture of the finished product served over baby spinach with natural juices poured over the top.
