Steps:
- Partially debone the chicken halves, removing the wing, backbone and thighbone. Rinse and pat dry. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 30 minutes to dry out the skin.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large nonstick skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat and add the oil and butter. Lay the chicken halves, skin-side down, in the skillet and scatter the thyme around them. Wrap a slightly smaller skillet with foil and place on top of the chicken. Set a large brick or 2 to 3 heavy cans in the skillet to weigh it down.
- Cook the chicken 3 to 5 minutes, then remove the top skillet and check the skin; adjust the heat and rotate the pan as needed so the skin browns evenly. Replace the top skillet and continue to cook until the skin is golden and crisp and the chicken is cooked about three-quarters of the way through, 20 to 25 more minutes. Remove the top skillet and carefully flip the chicken. Cook, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Cut each piece in half to serve.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over high heat. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper; add chicken to skillet, skin side-down and place a 10-inch heavy-bottomed skillet on top of chicken. Place two heavy soup cans or a brick in second skillet to weigh down.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook chicken until skin is golden brown and crisp, about 18 minutes. Remove top skillet and weights and turn chicken; pour off excess fat from skillet.
- Squeeze lemon juice over chicken and add stock. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken thigh registers 160 degrees, about 3 minutes.
- Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and divide evenly between two plates. Place each chicken half on a plate and serve immediately with pan juices.
CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN UNDER A BRICK
You should use a big cast iron pan for this, but it will also work in a high-quality, heavy-duty stainless steel pan, or other oven-proof skillet. The key is to heat it very well before the chicken goes in. Other than that, there's really no way to screw it up, unless you under or overcook it, which won't happen, since you're going to check it with the thermometer.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Use kitchen shears to cut down both sides of the backbone. Remove backbone and discard. Cut through breastbone from the inside until chicken folds out like a book and lays flat.
- Season chicken all over with salt and black pepper, and sprinkle herbes de Provence on the inside. Let chicken sit for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature; pat dry with paper towels. Brush skin-side of chicken with oil and season again with salt and black pepper.
- Heat an oven-proof cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Place chicken, skin-side down, in hot skillet and place bricks evenly on top to weigh down chicken.
- Roast chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove bricks, turn chicken over, and continue roasting until juices run clear and meat is no longer pink at the bone, 5 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Preheat the oven's broiler and broil the chicken until skin is crispy and golden, 1 to 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Place the chicken, breast side down, on a cutting board. Remove the backbone and 1 inch of the breast bone with kitchen shears. Remove the wing tips and any large pockets of fat near the tail. Flip the bird over and use the heal of your hand to flatten the chicken. Rub the skin with oil and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Cut 2 pieces of heavy duty aluminum to roughly 20 inches long each. Wrap each brick with foil, shiny-side out. Lightly oil the grill and add the bricks.
- Lightly oil the grate of the grill and add the bricks. Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and maintain the temperature until bricks are hot.
- Turn off the middle burner and place the chicken over that area, flesh side down, on indirect heat. Place the bricks on the chicken and close the lid of the grill.
- Grill for 40 minutes. Remove the bricks, turn the chicken, and continue grilling until the skin is crispy, 5 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove and let rest for 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Cut off or have the backbone of the chicken cut off. Make a small incision through the flesh at the base of each chicken half. Push the leg end of each chicken half through this incision to hold the leg in place. Place each chicken half skin-side up on a flat surface and pound all over forcefully with a flat mallet or the bottom of a clean heavy skillet.
- Turn the chicken halves skin-side down, and with a small paring knife make one small incision in the breast portion. Make one more small incision in the leg portion. Insert one sliver of garlic, one small rosemary sprig and one small thyme sprig in each incision.
- Put the chicken pieces in a flat dish. Sprinkle the chicken pieces on all sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with one tablespoon of lemon juice and a half cup of olive oil, turning the pieces to coat well. Arrange the pieces skin-side up in the dish and arrange the lemon slices evenly over the skin. Scatter the remaining two rosemary sprigs and two thyme sprigs over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
- Pour off and reserve the liquid from around the chicken pieces. Discard lemon slices and herb sprigs.
- Heat a large heavy skillet, preferably of black iron, until almost smoking.
- Pour the reserved liquid into the skillet. Immediately add the chicken pieces skin-side down. Scatter the garlic slices all around the chicken. Cover the chicken pieces with one heavy skillet that will fit comfortably inside the skillet in which they cook. (Chef Boulud uses bricks covered with foil to weight his chicken pieces.) If necessary, add more weights to the upper skillet to make the chicken lie as flat as possible. Cook over high heat about five minutes, until the skin is darker than golden brown. As the chicken cooks, lift the pieces to check the color of the skin. After five minutes, reduce the heat slightly and continue cooking about one minute. Remove the weights and turn the chicken pieces. Replace the weights and place the chicken in the oven. Bake 17 minutes. Remove the weights and turn the chicken pieces once more. Continue cooking about three minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- In a small saucepan, combine the remaining one tablespoon of lemon juice, six tablespoons of olive oil, the minced rosemary and thyme leaves and salt and pepper to taste. Blend well and heat gently. Cut the chicken into serving pieces and serve the sauce on the side.

CHICKENS UNDER A BRICK
These take only 12 or 15 minutes to prepare and can be held in a 50-degree oven for an hour or so. Therefore it is most convenient to grill them two at a time.

Steps:
- Rinse chickens inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Butterfly the chickens by removing the spine, flattening the birds with your hand and removing the breast bone with a small sharp knife or your fingers. Then firmly but gently pound them flat with the side of a cleaver or a small iron skillet. Remove and discard the wing tips and fold the wings back. Tuck the legs into the skin surrounding the vent by making neat slits at the point where the leg end can easily be inserted.
- Heat a stove-top grill large enough to cover two burners and brush the chickens very lightly with oil. Add salt and pepper. When the grill is hot, reduce the flame to medium and lay the chickens skin side down on the grill above each burner. Move the chickens gently with tongs until they begin to sear, to be sure they don't stick to the grill. Cover each with a heavy, flat-bottomed object large enough to cover the entire chicken. You can use 8-quart stockpots or their equivalent filled with water, 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillets or flat bricks (covered with foil).
- In about 5 or 6 minutes the chicken will begin to brown. If not, raise the flame. If the chickens have begun to burn, turn them over, replace the weights and reduce the flame. At this stage you will be making your own decision based on empirical data. The result should be a rich mahogany finish and an intense chicken flavor.
BRICK CHICKEN WITH VINEGAR PEPPERS
Weighing down the chicken with a skillet (our "brick" in this case) while you sear it ensures a crispy, golden skin. Then you sauté a mess of peppers with onion and garlic; mix in vinegar, sugar, and capers to great an agrodolce sauce; and combine it all with the browned bird, so the flavors meld as it finishes cooking in the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F with a rack in center. Season all sides of chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium; add butter and 1 tablespoon oil.
- When butter melts and foam subsides, add chicken, skin-side down. Place a piece of foil on top of chicken and top with a second heavy skillet to weigh down. Cook, undisturbed, until skin forms a golden-brown crust, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove top skillet and foil. Transfer chicken to a plate, skin-side up.
- Discard fat in skillet. Return to medium-high heat and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add peppers and onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are browned in places, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, vinegar, sugar, capers, and rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then transfer to a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan or baking dish along with chicken, skin-side up, and any accumulated juices.
- Roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken reads 160°, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Return vegetables to oven; cook until sauce has reduced slightly, about 10 minutes more. Season. Serve chicken with vegetables and polenta, spooning juices over top.
