Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

2

Marinate the Chicken

Rub the marinade all over the whole chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a rotisserie, make sure it is properly set up.

4

Cook the Chicken

Place the marinated chicken on the grill or rotisserie. Cook for approximately 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), turning occasionally if grilling.

5

Rest and Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving. Serve with your choice of sides.
