How to Cook Like an Italian: Part 7 🇮🇹
This recipe might just involve a trip to the hardware store...! 🧱 Today, Gabe is making authentic Italian Pollo al Mattone — the crispiest, juiciest chicken you will ever make in your life. This traditional Tuscan technique uses heavy weight to press the chicken flat against the pan, ensuring 100% skin-to-heat contact. The result? Incredibly crisp skin and juicy, tender meat.
Gabe makes a fragrant salt rub — infused with rosemary, sage, garlic, lemon and fennel — that can be made ahead and stored, making future roast chickens even easier. Finished with a quick lemon pan sauce and plenty of fresh lemon wedges, this is the kind of simple, rustic dinner that feels both comforting and special, especially when served with Gabe's rustic panzanella recipe.
