Chicken 48 hour Marinade Spatchcocked

 Whole organic chicken

  • cut out the backbone (spatchcock)
  • place in a large plastic bag
Mix together:
  • 3/4 c EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1/4 c red wine vinegar
  • 3 T balsamic vinegar
  • 3 T dijon mustard
  • 2 T coconut or liquid aminos
  • juice 2 lemons and coarsely chop peels
  • 4-6 large rosemary sprigs-coarsely chop
  • small bunch of thyme sprigs-coarsely chop
  • 3 garlic cloves-peel, smash & coarsely chop
Pour mixture over the chicken and refrigerate for at least 24 hours and ideally 48 hours.  Turn chicken a couple of times throughout marinading time.  Remove from the frig a couple hours before grilling.

Best grilled on a medium heat (ok to rinse the chicken before placing on the grill to minimize fire flare-up), skin side down at first for about 20 minutes and then turn over for another 20 minutes.  Depending on the size of your chicken, 45-60 plus minutes in total grill time.  Let rest, tented with foil for 10 minutes before serving.  I like to serve the whole chicken with scissors/knife, centerpiece style!

It will melt in your mouth!!
