GRILLED ROAST CHICKEN WITH SPINACH-RICOTTA CROSTINI
This whole chicken cooked on the grill is truly a best-of-both-worlds recipe: You get the incredibly succulent meat and brittle-crisp, burnished skin of a roast chicken, combined with the deep smoky flavor of the grill. To make it, you essentially use your grill like an outdoor oven, cooking a whole splayed chicken in a skillet instead of directly on the grill grate. Splaying the bird first - that is, flattening the legs so they lay flat in the skillet - helps the dark meat cook quickly and evenly. The skillet helps to distribute the heat and captures the juices, which would otherwise incinerate in the fire. Those juices are then put to good use as a cooking medium for dill-flecked, garlicky spinach. The greens absorb all of the chicken drippings before being heaped upon ricotta-smeared crostini. Added bonus: You don't have to worry about setting off your smoke detector. Here, the smoke stays in the grill with the bird, which is exactly where you want it.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, chile powder and lemon zest. Rub the chicken inside and out with salt mixture. Place chicken on a rack set over a baking pan to catch any drips, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Heat a gas grill, or light a charcoal grill for indirect heat (meaning pile the coals on one side of the gill, leaving the other side empty).
- Place a cast-iron skillet on the grate directly over the coals. Cover the grill, and let the pan heat up for 10 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the refrigerator. Use a sharp knife to cut the skin connecting the legs to the rest of the body. Use your hands to splay the thighs open until you feel the joint pop.
- Rub chicken with oil and place it breast side down in the hot skillet. Cover grill and cook 5 to 7 minutes, until the breast is seared and golden and easily releases from the pan.
- Using tongs and a spatula for balance, carefully flip chicken and cover the grill again. Continue cooking until the underside of the chicken is starting to brown, 10 to 20 minutes. Make sure the skin doesn't get too dark; it will continue to brown even as it cooks over indirect heat. You're looking for a medium golden color here, a shade or two lighter than what you ultimately want it to look like.
- Move the skillet over to the unlit side of the charcoal grill, or turn off the burners on your gas grill that are underneath the pan. Cover grill and continue to cook until the bird is cooked through, 10 to 25 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer should register 155 degrees in the breast. You'll need to keep your eye on the grill heat as you cook. If you've got a thermometer on your grill cover, you're looking for it to be at about 450 degrees. If it falls below 400 degrees or seems as if it's not hot enough (i.e., your chicken is cooking too slowly), add more coals or turn up your burners. Use your intuition here.
- Transfer chicken from the skillet to a cutting board, and tent with foil to rest.
- Throw garlic, anchovies (if desired) and red pepper flakes into the skillet and cook, uncovered, until the garlic starts to sizzle and turn golden, about 20 seconds. Toss in spinach and dill and cook, stirring with your tongs, until just wilted, 2 minutes longer. If the spinach isn't wilting quickly, push the pan back over the flame to direct heat. Season with salt.
- Place bread slices on grill and cook until lightly charred, about 1 minute per side.
- To serve, drizzle toasts with oil and slather with ricotta. Top with spinach mix and a little lemon juice. Serve alongside sliced chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Coarsely grate the cheese. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cheese on the mat to make a thin disk, about 2 inches wide. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the disks evenly on the pan to make 8 fricos. Bake rotating the pan once during baking, until the cheese melts together and is just golden, about 12 minutes. Cool fricos on the pan.
- Position a rack 6 inches from the broiler and preheat.
- Slice the mushrooms as thin as possible. Toss with the lemon juice and season with the salt and pepper, to taste.
- Brush the chicken breast with olive oil and mustard. Season with the salt and pepper. Place the chicken in a flameproof gratin or casserole dish and broil, turning as needed until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the breasts registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate, reserve the pan. Add the broth to the pan, and stir with a wooden spoon to release the brown bits that cling to the pan. Reserve the pan drippings.
- Whisk the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, and the pan drippings starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a dressing.
- Slice the chicken. Toss the spinach and mushrooms with the dressing and divide among 4 plates. Scatter the chicken over the salads, top with the fricos and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill or grill pan. Carefully oil the grill or grill pan with a cloth dipped in a little olive oil. If using a grill, have the grilling surface 8 to 10 inches above the embers. Regulate the amount of coals under the grill so that it maintains a consistent medium-hot heat (the oil on the grill will begin to smoke).
- Prepare the chicken. Coat each chicken breast with the extra-virgin olive oil. Season each side evenly with a little salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, skin side first, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook in the same manner another 4 or 5 minutes until the meat is slightly firm to the touch. Season 1 side evenly with the roasted garlic rub. Remove from the heat and reserve until cool. Cut the chicken with the grain into bite-size pieces. Reserve.
- Divide the dough into 6 balls. Working on a surface free of flour, roll each ball under your palm. As it rolls, it will stick slightly to the surface, creating tension that helps form a tight, round ball. Dust the work surface with flour, pat each ball down lightly, dust the tops with flour, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 15 minutes.
- With a rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle 8 or 9-inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick and place on a cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal (to keep the dough from sticking).
- On a clean grill surface (use a wire brush then oil again as before) gently lay the piadine on the grill and cook until the bottom has set and is cooked, but not so well done that it is not pliable, about 4 minutes. Turn the crust and cook on the second side. The cooking time will vary with the heat of the grill. Remove crusts.
- Meanwhile, toss together the spinach, mozzarella, tomato wedges, red onion, Parmesan and chicken. Toss with vinaigrette to coat the greens and taste for seasoning with salt and pepper. Place the crusts on plates and divide the salad among them. Serve "open face." Diners should fold their piadine in half and eat without utensils!
