Italian spicy grilled chicken

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F. Spatchcock the chicken by removing the backbone, then flatten it.

2. 2

   Mix the olive oil with the lemon zest and juice, chili flakes, grated garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Rub the chicken generously with the marinade, all over and under the wings if possible.

4. 4

   Set the chicken skin-side up on a tray. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes, until the skin is crisp and the thickest part reaches 74°C/165°F.

5. 5

   Rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with the flavorful juices from the tray.
