Spicy Peri-Peri Spatchcocked Chicken

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill or oven to a medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix together the peri-peri sauce, olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder to create the marinade.

3. 3

   Lay the spatchcocked chicken on a flat surface and season both sides with salt to taste.

4. 4

   Brush the peri-peri marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.

5. 5

   Place the chicken skin-side down on the grill or in a roasting pan if using an oven.

6. 6

   Cook for about 45-55 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

7. 7

   Remove the chicken from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

8. 8

   Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the chicken.
