Blend the chilies, garlic, lemon juice, grape vinegar, olive oil, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken backbone, open the chicken flat, and dry the skin with paper towels.
Rub the marinade over the chicken and under the skin, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat the oven to 200°C and place the chicken skin-side up on a tray.
Roast the chicken for 40 minutes, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
Increase the oven to 220°C and brown the skin for 10 to 15 minutes.
Rest the chicken for 10 minutes, then carve and serve with lime wedges.
💡 Tip: Drying the skin and rubbing marinade under it lets the spice reach the meat.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with roasted potatoes, cabbage slaw, and lime wedges.
