Method

Only very young and tender chickens can be cooked in this way. Split cleaned chickens open through the back, flatten and trim birds, cutting off feet and wingtips; wipe with a damp cloth, and season generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, paprika and a little lemon juice. Skewer birds open; brush both sides with melted butter and sprinkle with fine browned breadcrumbs.
