Red Devil Chicken image

Firefighters have a nickname (or a curse name) for fire, "The Red Devil." This chicken is so spicy with red pepper, Italians call it pollo alla diavola, or "chicken, devil-style." Split, splayed on the grill, and weighted under a follwrapped brick, the end result is a particularly Juicy bird with a crispy skin. A heavy cast-iron skillet works well as a weight, also. Recipe from: The Firehouse Grilling Cookbook Prep time includes marinating the chicken.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (4 lb) chicken, rinsed and patted dry
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed through a press
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Place the chicken on a work surface, skin side up.
  • Press hard on the breastbone with the heel of your hand to flatten the chicken.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the wine, oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt.
  • Place the chicken and marinade in a zippered plastic bag.
  • Close the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, and up to 2 hours.
  • Build a charcoal fire in one side of an outdoor grill and let burn until covered with white ash.
  • Place a large disposable aluminum foil pan on the empty side of the grill and fill halfway with water.
  • In a gas grill, preheat on High.
  • Turn one burner off, and keep the other burner (s) on High.
  • Place the foil pan on the Off burner, and fill halfway with water.

  • Place, skin-side down, over the pan.
  • Weight the chicken with an aluminum foilwrapped brick.
  • Cover and cook for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the brick and turn the chicken.

  • Using a cleaver or heavy knife, chop the chicken into quarters, and serve hot.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic next time.
