For best results, spatchcock the chicken yourself for maximum control over the process. If you are unfamiliar with spatchcocking, there are many online tutorials available. Ensure your grill is properly preheated for even cooking. Don't skip the resting period! This is crucial for juicy, tender chicken. Serve with a side of tzatziki, pita bread, and a Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a measuring cup, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, chopped fresh oregano, minced garlic, minced fresh rosemary, and dried tarragon. (2 minutes)
02
Step
0 mins
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
03
Step
0 mins
Place the spatchcocked chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour half of the oil mixture over the chicken, reserving the remaining half. Massage the oil mixture into the chicken skin, ensuring even coverage. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
04
Step
50 mins
Grill the chicken skin-side up over indirect heat for 50 minutes, maintaining a consistent temperature. Move the chicken over direct heat and grill for 5 minutes to crisp the skin. Carefully flip the chicken skin-side down and grill until the skin is deeply browned and crispy, approximately 5 more minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and let rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step
5 mins
Drizzle the reserved oil mixture over the grilled chicken. Carve and serve immediately, accompanied by your favorite Greek sides.
