Ingredients

  • 4 pounds young, organic chicken
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • fresh rosemary
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Have chicken at room temperature. Remove the giblets and neck and any extra fat from around the cavity openings. On a board, using a knife and/or kitchen shears, split chicken down the middle and lay flat. There are online directions for butterflying a chicken---you might want to google "spatchcocking" or "butterflying chicken."
  2. Rub chicken all over with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with scissor-snipped fresh rosemary, salt and pepper.
  3. Place chicken on a medium hot grill and cook for about 20 minutes per side. Watch chicken and check for even browning. Chicken is done when juices run clear and legs wiggle freely.
