Devil’s Chicken

June 3, 2020 by Holly Ford 3 Comments

Devil's Chicken

Devil’s chicken (Pollo Diablo) is a spatchcock chicken marinated with olive oil, lemon, chilies, and roasted in a high heat oven. Once roasted, immediately rub the chicken with butter paste made with shallow, garlic, parsley and broil it to get the charred look. You will have juicy tender chicken in every piece with lots of wonderful flavor. Check my YouTube video for tutorials.

What is a Spatchcock chicken?

To spatchcock a chicken basically means to butterfly the chicken and remove the backbone. Because a spatchcock chicken requires less time in the oven, you end up with a super juicy bird. Even the breast won’t be dry but moist.

Marinading the chicken

In order to make the chicken extra flavorful, you will want to marinade with olive oil, lemon juice, red chilies, and some herbs (if using). Marinate the chicken for at least one hour or chill in the fridge up to 24 hours. Make sure to turn the chicken around to ensure even marinading.

What’s in the butter paste?

Shallot, garlic, parsley, and butter is processed together until it forms into a paste. The butter paste makes the chicken extra moist and flavorful.

Is this devil’s chicken very spicy?

Although it has five small red chilies, the chicken roast is not spicy at all. The chilies gets mellower while roasting and adds a very gentle heat to the chicken.

You can roast the potato together with the chicken to make the one dish meal. Mashed potatoes or rice pilaf would be another great choice.
