STEP BY STEP
Steps:
1. Make a vertical structure for grilling the chicken.
2. Put chilies, garlic, and ginger in a mortar and beat them with a pestle into a spicy pulp. Add wild garlic, salt, and olive oil and continue beating until the mixture turns into a paste.
3. Coat the chicken with this aromatic mix and mount it on the prepared structure, which you have placed on a clay tray, to collect the dripping oil.
4. Put the tray on the embers once the temperature is about 400 F (200 C).
5. Take a metal bucket and cover the chicken with it. Remove the bucket from time to time to check how cooked your chicken is.
6. Add more aromatic herbs to the oil collected in the tray and baste the chicken with it during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
7. Once the chicken is nice and crispy, splash it with the remaining aromatic oil from the tray and go for it!
