My three favourite’s alla Diavola recipes.

BBQ Chicken alla Diavola.

1. Spatchcock the chicken, I followed this BBC video. Then transfer to a container that can be refrigerated
2. In a little bowl mix 2 tbsp. olive oil, with the lemon juice and the chillies, and pour over the chicken. Cover and refrigerated overnight for a best result marinade.
3. Light your BBQ, and 20 minutes before the charcoal is ready for cooking remove the chicken from the fridge. Season very well.
4. Now wrap the chicken with it´s own marinade in a layer of foil. I don’t go to give cooking times, because all depends of the quality of charcoal or wood that you are using and your bbq techniques, but the idea is after you almost finish cook the chicken in both side, unwrap and cook for another 10 – 15 minutes until you get a crispy skin and of course no pink meat.
5. When cooked rest apart, meanwhile grill the lemon halves (cut side down) for 10 minutes, and then pour the bbq lemon juices over the chicken.
6. Ready to serve with fresh salad and beers!
