Chicken/Gruyere cheese

Method

Split the fryer in half with a knife or heavy shears. Chop the garlic. Throw the chicken halves, lemon juice, white wine, garlic, tarragon, olive oil and salt to taste into a gallon-sized zip-lock bag. Store in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.

broiling

1. Locate a broiler pan and a grill grate (or rack) to fit the pan.

2. Place an oven grate into the oven and place the broiler pan with the grill grate on the oven grate. Verify that the grill grate is 5-7 inches from the flames - with a ruler.

3. Preheat the oven on the broil setting for 10 minutes.

4. While broiling, keep the oven door ajar.

Before broiling, remove most of the tarragon and garlic from the chicken halves.

Arrange the chicken halves, end to end on the grate, directly under the broiler. Broil the chicken for about 15 minutes, basting with the excess marinade every 5 minutes. Re-arrange the halves after the first 10 minutes. Turn the halves over and broil for another 15-20 minutes, basting and re-arranging as before. Turn the chicken halves for the final time. Season with salt and pepper. Layer the cheese over both halves. Sprinkle with tarragon. Set the top grate up one level in the oven, and continue broiling until the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven, and allow to rest for 8 minutes.
