To amp up the flavor, Michael Ruhlman bastes this chicken several times with a delicious lemon-rosemary butter. (Note: Clean your oven before cooking to reduce smoke from rendering chicken fat.)

Chicken Paillard with Lemon-Caper Sauce by Michael Ruhlman | “Paillard” is a French technique of pounding meat flat before cooking.
