1
Firstly, this chicken needs to be spatchcocked. This allows a quicker cooking time and works really well if you want to barbeque the meat.
2
With the chickens back bone facing upwards, take a sturdy pair of poultry or game scissors and cut up each side of the back bone to remove it. Then turn the chicken over, lean on the breastbone with the heal of your hand and press hard enough to break it so that the chicken is flattened.
3
Make a couple of slashes in the thickest part of each of the legs of the chicken. This will allow the piri piri marinade to penetrate the flesh and also aid even cooking.
