Firefighters have a nickname (or a curse name) for fire, "The Red Devil." This chicken is so spicy with red pepper, Italians call it pollo alla diavola, or "chicken, devil-style." Split, splayed on the grill, and weighted under a follwrapped brick, the end result is a particularly Juicy bird with a crispy skin. A heavy cast-iron skillet works well as a weight, also. Recipe from: The Firehouse Grilling Cookbook Prep time includes marinating the chicken.

SICILIAN RED DEVIL CHICKEN

I used to make a dish very similar to this and I loved it. Sadly, when I married I gave up all of my warmer dishes because my husband couldn't abide anything "spicy". After 20 years of marriage, I have decided that I'm going to make some things that I like and he can have KD on those not to frequent evenings. I scoured Zarr to locate my old recipe with no luck (how is that possible?) and came across this on another site. It's very close to what I was wanting and I'm happy with it. I thought I'd pass it on along for others to try. This asks for chicken breasts but I have used bone-in thighs with success. Of course cooking time will increase with whole thighs.

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

Return chicken to pan, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 12 to 15 minutes for flavors to blend. Remove bay leaves and serve over pasta if desired.
