The chicken stays moist from finishing it in the oven. Only cooked the chicken. I grill the chicken on a cast iron skillet. Can that be placed in the oven to finish the cooking?

I cooked the chicken portion only, and it was great. The breasts were moist and tasty. The left-overs were even better the next day.

Chose not to make the Linguica – didn’t see a need for two meats at one small family meal. The grilled chicken is excellent. It presents well and is flavorful. Finishing the cooking in the oven prevents the chicken from drying out. Not too difficult either. The only major downside is cleaning the grill pan!

Been searching for a way to make grilled chicken like in the chain restaurants – this comes real close. Sear it on the grill, then finish it in the oven. The olive oil keeps it moist, the oven cooking helps prevent over-cooking. Yum! I didn’t cook the Linguica with it.
