In a blender, puree the bell pepper, hot chiles, garlic, bay leaf, oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place 1/2 cup of the sauce in a large bowl and stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using kitchen sheers, remove the backbone from the chicken. and flatten the bird. Place the chicken in the bowl and rub the sauce all over it. Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, until it is charred and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
