INSTRUCTIONS
Note: See the "Tapenade (Black Olive Paste)" recipe which is included
in this collection. Rinse and dry baby chickens. Set aside. Mix 1/2
cup of the Tapenade, 3/4 cup of the virgin olive oil, thyme, pepper
and pepper flakes until well blended in a large mixing bowl. Add
chicken and toss to coat. Set aside, refrigerated if possible. If not,
leave at room temperature until your grill is heated. Start barbecue
or broiler. When barbecue is hot, place chickens inside down on grill,
8 to 10 inches from coals. (If using broiler, start skin-side up
[toward heat] 5 to 6 inches from heat source.) In either case, cook
slowly about 10 to 15 minutes per side until skin is crisp and brown.
Juices should run clear when bird is pricked with at sharp knife to
bone at thickest part of thigh. While birds are cooking, heat
remaining virgin olive oil and sliced garlic over medium heat until
garlic is lightly browned. Toss in broccoli rabe and toss until well
heated but not browned. Season with salt and pepper and arrange on 4
plates. Remove birds from heat source and place over broccoli rabe in
center of each plate. Spoon 1 tablespoon tapenade over each bird and
serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 servings. Recipe Source:
