Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the chicken halves under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the chicken halves with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Place the chicken halves on the grill or in the oven, skin-side up. Cook for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your choice of two side dishes and two sauces.
