Deviled Chicken

1 fresh spring chicken, split into halves
6 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup butter
2 large garlic cloves, mashed
½ cup dry white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

Pound chicken halves with a meat mallet.  Place a large heavy skillet over moderate heat and add the olive oil.  Heat the oil, butter and garlic.  Add the chicken halves, breast side down.  Increase the heat and brown the chicken on each side for 10 minutes (20 minutes in all).  Season with salt & pepper.  Lower the heat and add the win and lemon juice.  Cover and cook for 30 minutes.  Uncover and cook for 10 minutes longer.  Baste well and check for doneness.  Chicken juices should run clear.
