Five-Herb Grilled Chicken with Green Aioli
- Three 3 1/2- to 4-pound chickens, quartered (see Note)
- 1/2 cup packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup packed basil leaves
- 1/2 cup snipped chives
- 2 tablespoons minced jalapeno
- 1 tablespoon minced thyme
- 1 tablespoon minced rosemary
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Grilled bread, for serving
- Using a sharp knife, score each piece of chicken 2 or 3 times through the skin.
- Transfer the chicken to a large bowl.
- In a food processor, combine the parsley, basil, chives, jalapeno, thyme, rosemary, garlic and 1 tablespoon of salt; pulse until the herbs are finely chopped.
- With the machine on, add the 1 cup of olive oil in a steady stream.
- Pour all but 1/2 cup of the marinade over the chicken and turn to coat; rub the marinade into the gashes.
- Refrigerate the chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Add the mayonnaise and lemon juice to the remaining marinade in the processor and pulse until bright green.
- Scrape the green aioli into a small bowl and refrigerate.
- Light a grill and oil the grates.
- Grill the chicken over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the inner thighs registers 168, about 35 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with the green aioli and grilled bread.
