• SIMPLE GRILLED SPATCHCOCK CHICKEN

SIMPLE GRILLED SPATCHCOCK CHICKEN


Ingredients

1 whole chicken

2 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano   

Zest from 1 lemon   

1 garlic clove, grated   

3 Tbsp olive oil   

2 tsp salt   

1 tsp pepper   

1 lemon, cut in half 

Preparation

Combine all ingredients except whole lemon and rub on both sides of the chicken. Insert two long metal skewers into chicken – one through breast meat, one through thigh meat. This makes turning the chicken much easier. Preheat your grill to medium high and place chicken, skin side down over direct heat. Grill for 5 minutes, turn heat to low and flip chicken. Continue to grill until juices run clear and the thermometer reads 165, 40-45 minutes total cooking time. Grill lemon, cut side down, for the last 5-10 minutes. 

Remove from the grill, squeeze lemon juice all over the bird, and let rest 10 minutes before carving.
