Ingredients
Instructions
Remove the stems from the red chili peppers.
Open the chicken along the breastbone and press firmly with the palms of your hands to flatten it, giving it a butterflied shape.
Place the chicken on a tray and season with salt, red chili peppers cut into pieces, sliced garlic (or grated garlic), bay leaf cut into pieces and olive oil. Make sure the chicken is thoroughly coated in the marinade. Cover the tray with cling film and marinate for at least 2 hours (If you have a little more time, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator overnight).
Remove chicken from marinade (reserve the marinade).
Place the chicken onto the hot grill and grill on both sides until golden brown. Keep turning the chicken pieces, brushing with the reserved marinade.
Before serving, I like to season the chicken with lemon juice.
