Steps:
- Prepare grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Combine paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl.
- Working one at a time, place chickens on a work surface, skin side up. Using your palms, press firmly on breastbone to flatten breast. Season chickens all over with paprika mixture, patting to adhere.
- Grill chickens, skin side up, over direct heat, rotating occasionally and moving to cooler side of grill as needed to control flare-ups, until browned, 5-8 minutes. Turn skin side down and grill, rotating occasionally, until browned, 8-10 minutes. Turn chickens skin side up and move to indirect heat. Grill, rotating occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thighs registers 165°, 50-60 minutes. Transfer to cutting boards and let rest 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, drizzle bread on both sides with 1/4 cup oil total and grill over direct heat until toasted and lightly charred, about 4 minutes; transfer to a platter.
- Grill lemons, cut side down, over direct heat until lightly charred and juices start to caramelize, about 4 minutes.
- Place chickens on top of bread and scatter parsley over. Squeeze 2 or 3 lemon halves over; serve with remaining lemons.
- Do Ahead
- Chickens can be grilled 2 hours ahead; hold at room temperature. Grill over high to reheat, about 4 minutes, before finishing as directed above.
