Poulet Roti a la Creole

Beautiful roasted Creole chicken. Having lived on the creole island of Reunion, I fell in love as a teenager with the incredible flavours of Creole cuisine. You can use this marinade for chicken wings & thighs, or a whole chicken, which I spatchcocked in this recipe. You absolutely must accompany this chicken dish with the classic creole 'dog sauce', which you can find at the following link: https://www.ladyhatawa.com/post/sauce-chien-creole-dog-sauce
