Portuguese Chicken
- 1 None whole chicken (about 3 1/2 lbs)
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 None red chili peppers, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp dried oregano

- Using kitchen scissors, cut along both sides of the chicken's backbone; discard backbone. Place chicken, skin-side up, on a cutting board. Using the heel of your hand, press down on the breastbone to flatten. Insert a metal skewer through the thigh and opposite wing of the chicken to keep it flat. Repeat with the other thigh and wing. Place chicken in a large, shallow dish.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover; refrigerate for 3 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425u0b0F. Drain chicken; reserve marinade. Place chicken on an oiled wire rack over a roasting pan. Pour reserved marinade over chicken.
- Roast for 30-35 mins, or until browned and cooked through, basting occasionally with pan juices during cooking. Serve with salad.
