Grilled Chicken With Spicy Brazilian Tomato Coconut Sauce

1. 1

   ["I prefer working with the whole chicken, for this recipe, but if you don't have the tools to remove the back bone, individual pieces work fine, just keep your eye on the temperature of your pieces for it will cook faster and you just need to be make sure you season well under the skin.", "Remove back bone from chicken and place on a baking sheet skin-side up. Take another cooking sheet and place on top of chicken and press down until you hear the breast bone break. You want the chicken to lie flat on the grill. It's important to get the bone to break so the entire bone side comes in contact with the grill. (some recipes you see a brick covered in foil on top of the chicken, I find it dries it our too much when I do that)", "Generously season all sides of the chicken. Turn your BBQ on high for 5 minutes to get the grill hot.

   Cook until skin has good charring (controlled burn) and temperature in the thigh bone reaches 155/160F. You want it for flour, but you also want your chicken to be moist inside. This takes a little practice.", "Remove from heat and cover loosely with foil and let rest about 15 20 minutes before cutting into Quarters.", "Chop tomatoes into 1/8 pieces, finely dice garlic, slice celery and the whites of the green onion ( save green stems) over medium heat until tender 5 minutes.", "Add Red Thai Chili peppers and saute for 5 minutes. Do not slice unless you can handle the heat.", "Add tomato paste and stir into mixture.
