Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Rub the half chicken with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Grill or roast the chicken for about 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste occasionally with the remaining olive oil.

Mustard Greens Preparation

  1. 3

    Sauté the Greens

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add mustard greens and salt, and cook until just wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

Salsa Verde Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Salsa Verde

    In a bowl, combine chopped parsley, minced garlic, chopped capers, olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir well and season with salt to taste.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    Place the cooked half chicken on a serving plate, top with sautéed mustard greens, and drizzle with salsa verde before serving.
