Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the whole chicken dry with paper towels. Place the chicken breast-side down on a cutting board. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut along both sides of the backbone to remove it. Flip the chicken over and press down on the breast to flatten it. This method, known as spatchcocking, helps the chicken cook more evenly on the grill.

  2. Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to coat it evenly. Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.

  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.

  4. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill, skin-side down. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the skin is charred and crispy. Flip and continue grilling for another 20-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve alongside your favorite sides.
