Instructions
Preheat grill to 425 degrees. Remove the backbone of the chicken and then turn over and flatten the breast bone with your palm making the chicken lay flat. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and then season the chicken liberally on the front and back and even going underneath the skin on the breasts. Place the chicken onto direct heat on the grill for 5 minutes per side and then remove to indirect heat for the remaining cook time. Flip the chicken another few times during the cook time (between 50-60 minutes depending on the size of the chicken) until the chicken has cooked through. Check the internal temp of the chicken with a meat thermometer and remove it from the grill when the inside of the breast of the chicken has reached 165 degrees. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.View original recipe
