Italian-style Grilled Chicken
|
Ingredients:
1 chicken (3½ to 4 lb)
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1½ Italian herb seasoning
Directions:
- Remove neck and giblets from chicken; reserve for other uses.
Remove and discard excess fat. Rinse chicken inside and out and pat
dry. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Secure skin over
cavities with small metal skewers. Tie legs together and twist wing
tips under back.
- In a small bowl, combine oil; lemon juice and Italian seasoning. Brush
mixture over chicken. Arrange chicken, breast side up, in centre of
cooking grate.
- Place lid on grill. Cook, brushing occasionally with remaining herb
mixture, until an Instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of
thigh (not touching bone) registers 180°F/82°C (1 to 1½ hours).
- Transfer chicken to a platter. Let stand for 10 minutes before carving.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
TIP: if you don't have Italian seasoning, prepare mixture of herbs: 1/4
teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon marjoram, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme.
