Pollo Alla Diavola (Devilish Chicken) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 lbs chicken, butterflied
1/4 cup olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine
lemon wedge, for serving

Preparation

To butterfly chicken: place chicken breast side down on a cutting board. Using kitchen sissors or a boning knife, cut out backbone (toss or use to make broth).
Spread open chicken and press down with hands to flatten (it should \"crack\").
Rub the chicken all over with olive oil; season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (or red pepper flakes).
Cover and refrigerate chicken for several hours or overnight.
Heat the grill to medium high heat.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook, turning frequently so as not to burn, until done (internal temperature of 175 degrees F in the thigh), about 20 to 25 minutes.
After about 10 minutes, begin brushing the chicken with the white wine every time you turn it over.
Once done, transfer to a cutting board and cut it into serving pieces.
Serve hot, with lemon wedges.
