Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Recipe

Poulet Grillé A La Diable

This grilled chicken recipe is a great way to give your family and friends a good wholesome meal and is nice and easy to make at home. So quick and labour saving for busy people!

The chicken tastes much better if it is a free range chicken but if this is not possible, don't worry, it will still taste good when prepared and cooked using a good recipe.

A good tip for cooking grilled chicken is to ensure that the chicken is dried first as this helps to give it a good crispy brown colour. You can dry the chicken with kitchen paper before cooking. A light sprinkling of salt and some herbs also adds to the final taste.

And, last but not least, if you use butter, or at least half butter and half oil such as olive oil your chicken will taste even better.
