This ensures that there is a greater surface area for the marinade to be in direct contact with the grill, and the overall cooking time is reduced.<\/p>\n<p>Seed 2 of the chiles and put them into a blender or a pestle and mortar with the remaining whole chiles, paprika, peeled garlic cloves, salt, lime juice, honey, and white pepper. Crush to a fine paste and set aside.<\/p>\n<p>Lay the chicken on a work surface and press down on the breasts to lay it flat (so it spreads like a butterfly). Place in a container suitable for marinating, add the chile marinade and massage well into all the crevices. Leave the chicken to marinate for at least 4 hours\u2014preferably overnight to get better flavor. Marinating in this instance makes a real difference.<\/p>\n<p>Take the chicken out of the marinade and lay it on a grill tray under a hot broiler for 40 minutes, turning and rotating the pan every 10 minutes. Pour the remaining marinade into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Use this sauce to coat the chicken once on each side with a pastry brush, before turning it a second time. The time it takes to cook will vary depending on the effectiveness of your broiler and the size of the chicken.<\/p>\n<p>Broiling can be challenging and requires regular attention, so alternatively sear the two sides of the chicken under a hot broiler until the skin crisps, then put it into the oven at 340\u00b0F for 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p class=\"author-credit\">From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0062467409\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0062467409&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=healagin09-20&amp;linkId=57855c68788336ec0be0e47513148a6e\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Food From Across Africa<\/em><\/a> by Duval Timothy, Jacob Fodio Todd, and Folayemi Brown.
