Directions. 1  In a heavy-bottom 4-quart pot, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Saute leeks 5-7 minutes, until tender. 2  Add cucumber and chicken stock. Simmer until cucumber is softened (about 6-8 minutes). 3  Pour small batches of cucumber soup into a blender and puree until smooth.
Grill for 5-10 minutes, depending on how hot the grill is (you do not want the chicken to burn). Once you have a good sear on one side, move the chicken pieces to the cooler side of the grill.
Method. 1  To spatchcock the chicken, flip it over so the backbone is facing you. 2  Put the chillies and garlic in a food processor with a good pinch of salt, or use a pestle and mortar. 3  Fire up the barbecue. When the flames have died down, place the chicken on the centre of the barbecue, skin-side down, and cook for 15-20 mins until nicely charred. Flip the chicken over and continue cooking for another 5-15 mins until cooked through. Check that the juices run clear, as the heat of every barbecue will vary. To cook in the oven, heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook for 35-40 mins on a baking tray. To char the skin, grill for a further 5-10 mins. Serve with lemon wedges, and Tabasco if you like it hot.
