Bar Mezzana Chicken Under A Brick Price

Bar Mezzana's Chicken Under A Brick is a rustic yet refined Italian entrée that consists of half, partially-deboned chicken seasoned with pesto. It is seared with a weight placed on top, a classic technique that ensures an exceptionally crispy skin while keeping the meat juicy and tender. The chicken is served on a bed of creamy polenta and topped with a shaved Brussels sprout salad. A chicken jus seasoned with garlic and Calabrian chili finishes the plate. The dish contains allium, dairy, nut, and nightshade components. The Bar Mezzana Chicken Under a Brick price is $37.00.

This dish is a sophisticated version of the classic Italian pollo al mattone and can be compared to the wood-fired chicken preparations at restaurants like Coppa. Bar Mezzana Chicken Under A Brick reviews often praise the expert technique of Chef Colin Lynch's kitchen, resulting in perfectly cooked chicken. The savory pesto and the spicy kick from the Calabrian chili jus are balanced by the creamy polenta. This entree pairs well with a light-bodied Italian red wine or one of the bar's creative, seasonal cocktails that blend traditional Italian influences.
