THE DEVIL'S CHICKEN (POLLO AL DIAVOLO) AND SAFFRON RISOTTO

TONIGHT I WENT DEEP. THIS WAS A THREE DINGER. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE THIS DISH SINCE THE END OF SUMMER. I COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME COOKING A WHOLE CHICKEN. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE COOKING A TURKEY BUT ONE HUNDRED TIMES EASIER. WHAT MADE THIS DISH SO GOOD WAS THE MUSTARD MIXTURE THAT YOU COATED ON THE CHICKEN AFTER IT WAS HALF-COOKED. THE FINISHING TOUCH WAS THE SPICY OIL (OLIO PICCANTE) THAT YOU DRIZZLED ON THE CHICKEN BEFORE SERVING. THE SPICY OIL CONSISTED OF 8 JALAPENOS DICED AND SEEDED, RED PEPPER FLAKES, SPANISH SMOKED PAPRIKA AND 2 CUPS OF OLIVE OIL.
CHICKY ALL TIED UP AND READY FOR THE OVEN.

SAFFRON RISOTTO
