Instructions
- Spatchcock the chicken following the directions in the lemon rosemary spatchcock recipe.
- Combine all the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Place the chicken in a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish then pour over the marinade, reserving a quarter cup for basting. I like to rub some of the marinade under the skin too. Make sure the chicken is fully covered.
- Preheat your grill, ensuring you have a cool-zone to allow the chicken to cook over indirect heat. I do this by turning on 6 of my 8 burners on high and leaving two side burners on low. If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals then spread them evenly under the grill grate, keeping a spot open - this will be your cool zone.
- Once heated, place the chicken on the cool zone, breast-side up.
- Close the lid of your grill then allow to cook for 20 minutes, checking regularly to control any flare-ups.
- After 20 minutes, carefully flip the chicken over onto the breast-side and cook for another 20 minutes on the cool side of your grill.
- Move the chicken over to the hot side of the grill and cook for another 10-15 minutes, basting with the remaining marinade until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- You'll know the chicken is cooked when the juices run clear when you cut the chicken between the breast and the leg. A meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of the chicken thigh will read 165°F/73°C.
- Remove the chicken from the heat and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
