Red Devil Chicken image

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.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful without being too hot.

The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the chicken.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out perfectly. It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The sauce was also delicious, with just the right amount of heat.
