Ingredients

  • 1 cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

    2 lemons, juice and zest

    4 garlic cloves, grated

    2 thyme sprigs, leaves picked

    2 rosemary sprigs, leaves picked

    1 tsp dried oregano

    1 tsp salt

    1 tsp black pepper

    1 chicken, butterflied

Method

  • In a bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients. This marinade works great with chicken, pork, or even lamb.

    Marinate the chicken in the olive oil mixture overnight in the fridge.

    Remove the chicken from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature.

    Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat or heat the flat plate of the BBQ. Season the chicken with sea salt and place it skin side down in the pan or on the BBQ. Cook until the skin is golden and crisp. Flip the chicken and continue cooking until it is cooked through.

    Serve the marinated chicken with your favorited salad.
