Author's Notes

Grilling Instruction (After Step 7): To grill, preheat your grill to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Drain off any excess marinade and place the chicken on the preheated grill. Cook for 20 minutes, turning regularly. Check every 5 minutes after that until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) at the thickest part of the thigh.

Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Rub Whole Chicken (1) with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) . Make sure to get in between the meat and the skin. Cover with plastic and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
Step 2
While the chicken rests, prepare the marinade. Heat Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Sweat Yellow Onion (1) until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add in Garlic (3 cloves) , Red Chili Peppers (2) , and Red Bell Pepper (1) and turn heat to high. Cook until the vegetables start to brown.
Step 4
Deglaze pan with Distilled White Vinegar (1 Tbsp) . Cook for another minute and then remove from heat.
Step 5
Transfer to a blender and add in Ground Cumin (1 tsp) , Paprika (1 tsp) , and Brown Sugar (1 Tbsp) . Blend until smooth paste forms. Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) and blend again until well combined.
Step 6
Spatchcock the chicken: place the chicken, breast-side down, on the work surface. Using sturdy scissors, cut along each side of the backbone to remove it. Open the chicken, turn it over and flatten the bird.
Step 7
Rub the chicken all over with the pepper paste. Make sure to get in between the meat and the skin. Place in a roasting pan with a rack, cover, and allow to marinate for another 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Step 8
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 9
Roast the chicken in the oven for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) at the thickest part of the thigh.
Step 10
Cut Romaine Lettuce (2 heads) lengthwise.
Step 11
In a small bowl combine Olive Oil (1/2 Tbsp) , 1 Tbsp of Lemon Juice (1) , Salt (1/2 tsp) , and Ground Black Pepper (1/2 tsp) . Brush the oil mixture onto the leaves.
Step 12
Heat up a grill pan over high heat. Once hot, cook the romaine slices face down for 2-3 minutes.
Step 13
Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 14
Transfer from the pan to a serving plate. Grate Parmesan Cheese (to taste) over the leaves.
Step 15
Serve chicken with salad.
