Spicy Roast Spatchcocks

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"This is a great spatchcock recipe apart from the marinating time there is not a lot of prep time involved. It is packed with flavour and has a wonderful end result I have listed the marinating time as 3 hours or overnight I usually do mine over night for maximum flavour. I served mine with chipped potatoes cooked with sea salt and pepper and roasted honey lemon vegetables. I have listed enough in the ingredients that should be ok with 4 and it will work with 2 without being way over the top."
