Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

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

2

Marinate the Chicken

Place the whole chickens in a large resealable bag or bowl, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chickens are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

3

Prepare the Charcoal Grill

Prepare your charcoal grill by lighting the charcoal and allowing it to burn until covered in white ash. Spread the coals evenly in the grill.

4

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chickens from the marinade and let excess liquid drip off. Place the chickens on the grill, breast side up. Cover the grill and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

5

Rest and Serve

Once cooked, remove the chickens from the grill and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve warm.
