Lemon Herb Chicken

The marinade adds a delicious flavor to the chicken, which cooks great on the
grill outdoors or in the oven indoors. We make this all year long, using my oven
in the winter months.

1 Grab whatever size chicken you would normally roast and remove the neck and
giblets from it. Get a sharp
paring https://www.rachaelray.com/shop/kitchen/cutlery/knife-sets-a1826487420.htmlknife
or a pair of kitchen scissors and get ready to butterfly your first whole
chicken!
2 Place the chicken on a cutting board back-side-down. Working from the cavity
opening up to the neck, Cut the breast in the middle and grab the chicken with
one breast in each hand and open it like a book, exposing the cavity of the
bird.

absorb the marinate. From this point, the chicken can cook flat either on a
grill or roast it in the oven.

juice and let rest for 5 minutes.
5 In a small bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, soy sauce, cayenne, paprika,
thyme, rosemary and chili flakes. Mix until all ingredients combine into a paste
mixture.

hours or overnight.

Pour the marinate sauce on the chicken and bake/roast for 1 ½ hour or until
cooked through. Cooking time may vary according to oven used.

Bon Appetit!
