Directions

Place the whole chicken on your chopping board, with the back spine of the chicken facing upwards to the ceiling. Position the chicken with the opening of the neck facing you, while keeping the back spine facing upwards.

Using your poultry or butcher shears, cut on the immediate right side of the spine and cut the chicken back open all the way down to the buttock of the chicken. The spine will still be attached to the left side of the back.

Lay the chicken on a parchment paper lined baking sheet tray, with the skin side facing up.

In a small bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and let the chicken sit in it for 30 minutes in the fridge.

Preheat the oven at 175°C to get the oven nice and hot to roast the chicken.

Place the marinated chicken skin side up on the tray and roast for around 28-30 minutes, or until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and thigh. If you have a food thermometer, the breast should register at 68°C and the thigh and leg should register at 82°C.

For the dipping sauce: Cut the fruit into thick batons and combine all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and whisk until the sugar is all dissolved. Set aside.

Build an assembly plate with the lettuce, mint, cilantro, cucumber, and peanuts.

Add a little bit of everything wrapped with the chicken in a lettuce leaf, then dipped into the dipping sauce to finish. Enjoy!
