Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your fire-roasting grill to medium-high heat. Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

2

Season the Chicken

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon juice to create a marinade. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin for maximum flavor.

3

Add Fresh Herbs

Place the fresh rosemary inside the cavity of the chicken for additional flavor.

4

Fire-Roast the Chicken

Place the chicken on the grill, breast side up. Close the lid and roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste with leftover marinade every 30 minutes.

5

Rest and Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve with your choice of sides.
