This grilled spatchcocked chicken is simple to do and only requires a sharp pair of kitchen shears and 5 minutes of your time. Grilling over indirect heat keeps the chicken moist.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.25 cups lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1 , 4.5 pound
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, rosemary, and tarragon together in a measuring cup.

  2. 2

    Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. 3

    Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour 1/2 of the oil mixture over the chicken and reserve the remaining 1/2. Using your hands, massage the oil mixture into the chicken skin. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Grill chicken skin-side up over indirect heat for 50 minutes. Move chicken over direct heat and grill 5 minutes. Carefully flip chicken over skin-side down and grill until skin is brown and crispy, about 5 more minutes. Transfer chicken to a serving platter and let rest for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Drizzle reserved oil mixture over the chicken. Carve and serve.
