This tasty chicken recipe by Bobby Flay is a unique combination of chicken and spices. The fact that this recipe can be made throughout the year, makes it an even better dinner idea.
You may be asking what in the world is Brick Chicken? Brick Chicken is basically chicken under a brick. Nothing fancy or exotic about it, just chicken that has a brick on top of it. It may also be referred to as Brick Pressed Chicken.
If you haven't had the opportunity to ever try chicken prepared like this, it's really something you must try. If you enjoy chicken recipes then I think this dish will definitely become a favorite!
