Grilled Greek Spatchcock Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Greek Spatchcock Chicken.

1. Step 1

   Start by whisking together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chopped oregano, minced garlic, minced rosemary, and dried tarragon in a measuring cup until everything is beautifully blended.

2. Step 2

   This fragrant mixture will be the star of your dish! Next, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to keep your chicken from sticking.

3. Step 3

   Now, take your spatchcocked chicken and place it on a rimmed baking sheet.

4. Step 4

   Pour half of that delicious oil mixture over the chicken, saving the other half for later.

5. Step 5

   Get in there with your hands and massage the oil into the chicken skin, making sure every inch is coated.

6. Step 6

   Don’t forget to season generously with salt and pepper for that extra flavor boost! Grill the chicken skin-side up over indirect heat for about 50 minutes.

7. Step 7

   This method allows the chicken to cook through without burning, ensuring it stays juicy and tender.

8. Step 8

   After the 50 minutes are up, it’s time to move the chicken to direct heat.

9. Step 9

   Carefully flip it over so the skin side is down and grill for an additional 5 minutes, or until the skin turns a gorgeous golden brown and crispy.

10. Step 10

    Once your chicken is perfectly cooked, transfer it to a serving platter and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

11. Step 11

    This resting period is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, making every bite succulent.

12. Step 12

    Finally, drizzle the reserved oil mixture over the rested chicken, carve it up, and serve.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the delightful flavors and the satisfaction of a beautifully grilled meal!.
