1.5 kg chicken

Spicy Roast Chicken Recipe Cooking Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to moderate 180 degrees Celcious. Cut the chicken in half by cutting down the backbone and along the breastbone using a large cleaver. To prevent the wings from burning, tuck them underneath. Place the chicken, skin side up, on a rack in a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes.
2. For the meantime, combine the chillies, garlic, peppercorns and sugar in a small food processor or mortar and pestle and process briefly, or pound until smooth. Add the soy sauce, turmeric and lime juice. Process in short bursts until combined.
3. Brush the spice mixture all over the chicken. Dot with butter pieces and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Serve warm or at room temperature garnished with lime wedges and fresh herbs, if desired.
