Hi Jaden, love your blog! Lots of fantastic recipes and I love your writing style (and all your awesome giveaways!).
I was just wondering if this can be adapted for a regular, non-convection oven? We have a really ghetto one, probably from the 80s, and we aren’t going to be replacing it until we move in the next few years. Thanks!

In response to your comment #15: instead of a food processor to grind up the peppercorns and salt I used a Japanese mortar (a “suribachi” ) and pestle . The inside of the bowl is unglazed and has a ridged, striated pattern from bottom to top. Traditionally, the pestle was made from the Szechuan pepper tree (interesting coincidence for this dish). The suribachi (the volcano on the island of Iwo Jima, of WWII fame is named after it) and its pestle are great for any kind of food grinding activity (pesto, etc.); I find of small size most useful (about 5 1/2 in. across the top). Texture is easy to control and it grinds very rapidly. I actually prepared the chicken as a pollo al mattone (Italian butterflied chicken flattened under bricks), using a cast iron skillet and a 10 lb barbell on a pot cover for a weight (based on the recipe in Patricia Wells’ Trattoria book).

“If you don’t have a local butcher that carries good, healthy chicken, and you are lucky enough to have a Super Target nearby, check out their antibiotic and hormone free chickens – $3.89 for a entire 3.25-lb bird. If you are penny-pinching, you really can’t beat that – its cheaper than a chemical-laden chicken!”

It’s illegal to give hormones to chickens in the first place. It’s like advertizing cold ice, or wet water.
