Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the marinade

Zest and juice the lemons. Mince the garlic cloves. Remove the leaves from the rosemary and thyme stems and finely chop them. In a small bowl, mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

2
Marinate the chicken

Place the whole chicken in a large, resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure to coat it evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

3
Prepare the grill

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400°F/200°C). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

4
Grill the chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the chicken on the grill, breast-side up. Close the grill lid and cook for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

5
Let the chicken rest

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.

6
Carve and serve

Carve the Grilled Whole Chicken into desired pieces and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes.
