Prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl and set aside. Place the chicken flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, insert the knife and make a lengthwise slit along the backbone. Slice the wishbone in half. (This is the small forked bone in the center of the chest).
Open and flatten the chicken. Season inside and out with salt and pepper and massage it all well with olive oil.
Heat the plancha over medium heat and place the chicken flat, opening underneath. After 20 minutes of cooking, turn the chicken over and flatten well again and, with a brush, coat the inside of the already cooked chicken with the sauce.
Continue cooking for 30 minutes and brush the chicken with sauce regularly while cooking. Ten minutes before the end of cooking, turn the chicken over again so that the meat grills evenly.
