Spicy Caribbean Grilled Chicken

Spicy Caribbean Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

• 1.8 kg whole chicken (fresh, preferably organic)
• 5 tbsp Spicy Caribbean Chicken Rub
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

preparation

To butterfly the chicken: Pat the tempered chicken dry with paper towels and turn the chicken breast side down on the board. Using strong kitchen shears, start at the tail and cut each side of the backbone. Then remove the backbone. Turn the chicken breast side up and press it onto the breastbone until you hear a snap. Pound the chicken flat with a meat mallet.

Rub the chicken thoroughly on both sides with the Spicy Caribbean Chicken Rub. Allow to rest for at least 1 hour before cooking.

Preheat oven or grill to 200°C

Place the chicken in a roasting pan, breast side down and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake in the oven or grill for 1 hour.
When the chicken is finished grilling, remove it from the oven and cover it with foil to let it rest for another 10 minutes.

To check whether the chicken is cooked, it is best to use a meat thermometer. When the core temperature is 80 degrees Celsius, it is ready.
