RECIPE: This was good.. and easy Rec: Pollo Diavalo

[melissa-dallas]

1 butterflied chicken marinated in:

1/4 cup oil

2 Tblsps lemon juice

1/4 cup cayenne pepper sauce (Frank's, Crystal's, etc. not tabasco)

1 Tablespoon fresh ground black pepper.

Marinate overnight

Grill on charcoal or gas grill until done basting occasionally.

Next time I think I will add a tablespoon or so of Pickapeppa sauce to the leftover marinade for the baste so it will cling a little better.

Hi Melissa, this sounds right up my alley right now. Was it very spicy

heat-wise? Thanks!

Surprisingly, no. That's why I said to marinate overnight-I just did for 5 or 6 hours. It would

also help to loosen skin on bird & work some of the marinade under it. I think using a little pickapeppa sauce with the marinade as a baste would help it stick to and caramelize on the skin & help kick up the heat a little.
