2 1/2 lb Chicken, halved

    1/2 c  Olive oil

      3    Dried red chilies, stemmed

           - and seeded
      2    Lemons

           Freshly ground pepper
           Salt
  On a stove burner, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.
   Add the chili pods and saute them until they are a deep, dark brown. Turn
  off the heat and cool the olive oil and throw away the browned chilies.
  (the alternative is to add Tabasco sauce to the oil to make it hot without
  cooking it) Crack the leg and wing joints of the chickens loose and spread
  them out, skin side up on a board or clean counter. Pound the chickens will
  with a meat mallet to flatten them out. Add the juice of 1 of the lemons to
  the seasoned olive oil along with 3 or 4 twists of pepper. Put the chicken
  halves in a big bowl, pour the seasoned olive oil over them and turn the
  peices over and over to coat them well. Let the chicken stand for 1 - 2
  hours, turning the halves from time to time. Start your charcoal grill.
  When your grill is heaped high with hot coals, put the marinated chicken
  halves on to cook, skin side down. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and a
  little more pepper, grill thoroughly, turning and basting with the
  remaining marinade.  The chicken is done when it is tender and has a dark
  brown crust all over (some spots may well be charred) You can use the
  broiler in your oven, but an oven broiler never seems to get hot enough. If
  you want to try, preheat the broiler, put the chicken as close to the flame
  or coil as possible and broil it, turning it frequently and basting it
  often.  Serve chicken hot with lemon wedges. From Time Life - The Good Cook
