Flambeed Chicken (Pollo Alla Fiamma)

Category: Main Dishes

Servings: 4

Description: Use the amount of rum that is called for—too much alcohol and the flames can burn the chicken.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 to 3 lb broiler-fryer whole chicken, halved
• 1 t salt
• 1/2 t pepper
• 18 sprigs rosemary
• 3 cloves garlic, halved
• 3 T butter
• 1/2 C light rum

Instructions:

1. Rub chicken with salt and pepper. Place 3 sprigs rosemary in 3 different areas under skin of each half chicken. Cook chicken and garlic in butter in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until chicken is brown. Cover and cook over medium heat 40 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Pour rum into skillet. Heat about 1 minute or until hot. Carefully ignite. Serve when flame dies out.
