Simple chicken breast

Haven't posted in a cook in a while so figured I'd throw this out there. Just sprinkled boneless breasts with ragin river then direct at 400 degrees. After flipping I pressed them with a cast iron skillet with a brick. Turned out great.

Forgive the night pics. If my little buddy was here he would have a blast. Thus far the hole I have dug is 16 feet wide, 85 yards long and between 7-9 feet deep in places.

I love the char on the chicken and the picture of you kid and the neighbor's kid is excellent.

What was the thought behind pressing with the skillet and the brick? Just to get more of a char on it?
-
Get more char and it presses flat and cooks a little more evenly.

What does the pan do? Never thought of doing that before.
-
It presses the chicken and it cooks more evenly plus better grill marks. Basically gives more contact with the grate and flattens them so they are closer to all being same thickness. The entire breast is same amount of doneness so the edges arent tough and dry when center is juicy. Its all juicy!

Great looking chicken!Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

I always take a mallet to my chicken breasts- I think it makes them a lot more tender as it breaks down a lot of connective tissue and makes them thinner. Will have to try this as those look awesomeGreensboro, NC

My chicken never looks like this @biggreenpharmacist it's a beautiful thing. I'll have to try the skillet and brick next.
-
Yeah thanks. I'm proud of both of them. The big one is 7. Its hard to get a good pic of him nowadays. I'm gonna post one more. This one was after a mud fight. Big brother won ( by the way).

Man give it a try. You can also use just bricks wrapped in Foil, but cast iron skillet is easy.ChicagoEgghead20 said:My chicken never looks like this @biggreenpharmacist it's a beautiful thing. I'll have to try the skillet and brick next.
