Preparation

THE CHICKEN: Clean, remove the skin and debone, keeping the winglet bone intact. With a knife—tip make a deep slit along the thick edge of the breast, taking care not to penetrate the opposite side. Open out the flaps thus formed and flatten with a bat.

THE MARINATION: Mix yellow chillies, salt and lemon juice with the ginger and garlic
