Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Using kitchen scissors, cut along each side of chicken backbone. Discard. Place chicken on a board, skin-side up. Using the heel of your hand, press firmly on the breastbone to flatten chicken. Trim excess fat around the neck and legs.

2

Combine cumin, paprika, rind and 1⁄2 tsp sea salt. Rub over skin and under wings to coat.

3

Preheat a barbecue or chargrill over medium heat. Cook chicken, skin-side down, for 25 minutes or until browned. Transfer, skin-side up, to a baking dish. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Cover with foil. Rest for 10 minutes.

4

Meanwhile, lightly spray corn and asparagus with oil. Cook corn on chargrill for 8 minutes, turning, or until golden and tender. Cook asparagus for 1-2 minutes each side until just tender.

5

Combine yoghurt, chipotle and lime juice in a bowl. Serve chicken with vegetables, yoghurt and lime wedges.
