Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and dried oregano. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Rub the olive oil mixture generously all over the chicken, making sure to cover it inside and out. Be sure to lift the skin gently and rub some of the mixture underneath for extra flavor.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
- Preheat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Add the whole red hot chili peppers and dry roast them until they are blackened and charred on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Turn occasionally to ensure even charring.
- Once the peppers are charred, let them cool for a few minutes, then slice them thinly or crush them lightly.
- In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, finely diced shallots, sugar, and the blackened chili peppers. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened and the flavors are well blended.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool. Transfer it to a jar or bottle, and set aside until ready to serve.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the marinated chicken on the grill, breast side up. Grill the chicken for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (75°C) at the thickest part of the breast.
- If you prefer, you can also roast the chicken in an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve the chicken hot, with the blackened chilli vinegar on the side as a dipping sauce or drizzled over the chicken for an extra kick of flavor.
Tips:
- 1. For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
- 2. If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) for about 45-60 minutes.
- 3. Consider wearing gloves when handling red hot chili peppers to avoid skin irritation.
- 4. Let the chicken rest before cutting to retain its juices and ensure it stays moist.
With just a few steps and readily available ingredients, you can create this delectable Spiced Barbecue Chicken with Blackened Chili Vinegar. Whether you’re grilling for a family gathering or a casual dinner for friends, this recipe delivers on flavor and satisfaction. Enjoy the crispy and flavorful chicken, enhanced perfectly by the spicy and tangy vinegar sauce!
