Grilling: Butterflied Herb Chicken Recipe
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons of your favorite herbs (such as thyme, sage, tarragon, oregano, etc)
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 pounds),
- Mix the butter, herbs, garlic, and salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
- Using your fingers, carefully separate skin from each side of side of the breast and thighs and spread about 1 tablespoon of the herb butter under each area. Season skin with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread coals out evenly. Place chicken skin-side down on the grill and cook until skin is deeply browned and crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes. Flip chicken over and continue to grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast registers 160u0b0F, about 10 to 15 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Carve and serve.
