1 tb dried chile flakes

1 stick (1⁄4 lb) Butter, cubed
2-4 Pickled Cherry bomb peppers, torn apart
1⁄2 cup Pimenta de bico
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup parsley, chopped roughly
Salt
Pepper

METHOD
1. Start by spatchcocking the chicken, remove the spine and ribs, using scissors. Make
sure to leave leg and wing bones for texture and flavour. Be careful not to pierce the
skin! Season generously with salt.
2. Warm up cast iron pan on medium high heat, add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of
the pan. Place the chicken in the pan, skin side down and allow to start sizzling.
3. Once sizzling, take a brick wrapped in tin foil and place on top of the chicken and allow to cook until it is about 90% cooked before you flip it over to finish, about 40 minutes.
4. In a separate large pan, warm up some olive oil on medium high heat. Cut one onion into rings and place in pan. Add three cloves of smashed garlic.
Next, cut up some peppers. Slice two jalapenos and add to the pan, then add one green Anaheim seeded and quartered, three Jimmy Nardello peppers, one red Anaheim and three whole orange guys. Remove the seeds or leave them in, depending on how spicy you want.
5. Once the peppers begin to soften, add salt, chilli flakes and smoked paprika. Stir through thoroughly. Add enough chicken stock to the pan to cover all of the peppers, about three cups. Add about two pickled cherry bomb peppers, torn apart, and half a cup of pimenta
6. de pica. Allow to reduce to a thick sauce, about 30 minutes, then turn off the heat and add the juice of one lemon for acidity and a quarter pound of butter. Stir through then add a cup of freshly chopped parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Once the skin of your chicken is golden and crispy brown, take off the brick, flip the chicken and turn off the heat to allow the residual heat to cook through the rest of the chicken.
8. Serve your chicken on a bed of the diavolo sauce on a platter, skin side up so it stays crispy, then dress with sauce and reserved fat from your cast iron pan to finish.
