make this chicken... it is amazing.

[dimafleck: the living legend.]

2 whole chickens... backbone split and breast bone taken out.

take 7 or so long red chillies and roast them in the oven for 15 minutes or so.

while thats happening...

take a sauce pan and add:

a little less than 1 cup olive oil.

half of that amount of red wine vinigar.

1 heaping tablespoon oregano

1 heaping tablespoon paprika

and half a crushed garlic bulb.

once the peppers are out of the oven, cut them into chunks, seeds and all, and add them to the pot. turn the heat up to medium and let it slowly come to a boil. let it simmer for 5 minutes or so.

throw that shit into a blender and blend it. then let it cool.

take your flattened chickens and add a good amount of course salt and lots of course black pepper. add the sauce you made.

let this shit marinade for at least and hour. but 4 hours is best.

the trick here is to let this marinade under a heavy press. so do this in a large bowl, cover the chicken with plastic wrap and then put in a bunch of bricks or something.

crank your bbq up to the highest... take 2 heavy bricks and cover them in tin foil and let them back in the bbq aswell.

take the marinade thats at the bottom of your bowl and add it to some melted butter for basting.

once the heat is scortching in the bbq, turn it down to low and throw the chicken on the grill. the frst few minutes, its going to flare up like crazy so have a spray bottle ready and keep that shit under control. once the flare ups have settled down, throw your heavy hot bricks ontop of the chickens and close up the girl.

watch it carefully to make sure it doesn't burn. flip the birds and bast as need be and watch them so they don't burn...it can be tricky but well worth it.

serve with some kick ass piri piri sauce. trust me.
