Piri Piri Chicken with Chopped Vegetable Salad

★ 4.945 ratings

To spatchcock a whole chicken, place breast side down on a work surface and carefully cut along both sides of the backbone with kitchen shears. Remove and discard the backbone. Turn the bird breast side up; flatten by pressing down heavily with your palm to break the breastbone. Don't worry if the breastbone does not break, as long as the chicken lies flat, it will cook more quickly and evenly.
