Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the whole chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a deep dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 4

    Prepare the Chicken for Grilling

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.

  3. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken on the grill, breast side down. Grill for about 15-20 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.

  4. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
