So, in order to prevent the split chicken from burning, rob them well with the olive or canola oil mixed up with salt (at taste) and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper, then reserve them on a baking sheet for ten minutes. After the waiting your oven should be preheated correctly so roast the chicken for 35 minutes. Then, take off the skin and the bones so that you can chop the meat easily. The size of the chicken chunks should entirely depend on your taste, on the purpose of your serving etc. After the chicken, we have the chili! So, fry your onions until they become translucent then add the bell peppers (without pulps, seeds and diced with large size), red peppers flakes, chili powder, cayenne, cumin and a kosher salt. This spices mixture will be ready on one minute then add the puree of tomatoes and the basil and make the whole boil. Simmer the spice mixture and let it grow on flavor on reduced heat.
