Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup extra virgin olive oil
ΒΌ cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 (4.5 pound) whole chicken, spatchcocked
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, rosemary, and tarragon together in a measuring cup.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Drizzle reserved oil mixture over the chicken. Carve and serve.

This recipe was okay. The chicken was cooked well, but the marinade was a bit bland. I added some extra herbs and spices to give it more flavor.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the marinade didn't have much flavor. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chicken he's ever had. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
