Chicken

Method

Roasted Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the wood-fire grill to medium-high heat. Pat the chicken halves dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the chicken and season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh thyme.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken halves skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, then flip and cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 3

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
