Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the whole chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken breast side up on the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 1 hour, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve warm.
