A spicy Italian chicken dish that's smokin'
By
Polletto alla Diavola, or, "Devil's Chicken," is typically grilled over wood chips for an earthy, piquant smoke infusion and crisp, slightly charred skin. You can use a gas or charcoal grill with similar results. Feel free to adjust the amount of red chili flakes you use. That's where the "devil" component comes into play.
