Chicken Alla Diavola The Healthy Way Recipes

Steps:

• Make the chile oil: Chop jalapeño and serrano chiles and put them in a small saucepan with 3/4 cup olive oil. Add hot paprika and grind in a fair amount of black pepper. Steep over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Let sit overnight, or all day.
• Strain chile oil into a large bowl. Slice 2 lemons and add them to the bowl. Season with salt. Coat chicken with the oil, put in a zip-top bag and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to a day.
• Heat oven to 500. Heat a cast-iron skillet until it's quite hot (about 5 minutes). Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the chile oil and pat it dry. Sprinkle it with salt and shower it with pepper; you need a lot. Slick the bottom of the pan with olive oil and put the chicken, skin-side down, in the hot skillet. Cook until the skin is crisp and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the chicken skin-side up.
• Put the skillet in the oven and roast about 20 minutes, or until a thermometer registers 170 degrees in the thickest part of the thigh. Sprinkle with juice from half a lemon, shower with more pepper and allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Trim all of the fat from the chicken breasts. Gently flatten each breast between two sheets of plastic wrap using a cleaver to achieve uniform thickness. Arrange the chicken in a baking dish.
• Combine lemon juice and mustard in a mixing bowl and whisk to mix whiskey in the oil pepper corns and pepper flakes poor the marinade over the chicken. Turn the breasts several times to marinade the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to high. Oil the grate. Grill the chicken breasts until cooked, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, seasoning with salt and basting with any extra marinade.
