Ingredients

Ingredients

1
Sonoma Red Organic Pasture Raised Whole Chicken With Giblets
or
Skagit Red Air-Chilled Whole Chicken With Giblets
4
tablespoons olive oil
3
tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
1
tablespoon chopped garlic
3
lemons
1/4
teaspoon salt
1/8
teaspoon black pepper

Step One

Recipe step image

Step One

To butterfly a chicken, place it breast-side down on a cutting board. Use kitchen shears to cut straight up both sides of the backbone from the cavity to the neck. Remove the backbone and save for chicken stock.

Open the chicken like a book and flip it over so it’s breast-side up. Press down firmly on the breasts until you hear a pop. Tie the feet together with butcher twine to make the chicken easier to turn on the grill.

Step Two

Step Two

In a glass baking dish, whisk together the olive oil, oregano and garlic, plus the zest and juice of 1 lemon. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours.

Step Three

Step Three

Heat a lightly greased grill or grill pan to medium heat.

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip away and pat dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on the grill, bone side down, on the indirect heat area of grill. Monitor temperature of chicken with a meat thermometer, and when chicken is 80 percent cooked through, turn the direct-heat section of the grill to high. When grill thermometer registers 500 to 545 F, move chicken from the indirect to the direct heat area of the grill, placed skin side down. Let cook 1 to 1 1/2 minutes to create grill marks. Check doneness with a meat thermometer. To cook longer, move chicken back to the indirect heat area of the grill. If skin is overbrowning, flip chicken to the bone side and continue cooking. Remove from grill.

Step Four

While the chicken is resting, cut the remaining 2 lemons in half and place on the hot grill. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes until the lemons have softened and have grill marks. Cut the chicken into 8 pieces and place on a serving platter. Garnish with grilled lemons on the side. Squeeze grilled lemon juice over the chicken as desired.
