Ingredients
- 1 3-4-pound whole chicken, washed and giblets removed
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- grilled lemon
- minced fresh parsley
Preparation
1. To prepare chicken, mix oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper together in small bowl. Using your hands, rub mixture all over chicken, including inside the cavity. Place chicken in shallow dish, cover, and marinate in refrigerator for 24 hours or overnight.
2. Fire up grill. Coat top grate with oil and place on grill. (If using gas grill, preheat to medium-high [300° to 350°F] on one side.)
3. Place chicken, preferably on a rotisserie or rack, over indirect heat and cook, grill covered, for about 1 hour, until internal temperature reaches 165F.
4. Serve chicken whole, remove backbone and serve in halves, or quarter it by removing thighs from breasts.
5. To prepare sauce, mix all ingredients together in small bowl. Generously drizzle over cooked chicken and garnish with grilled lemon and parsley.
NOTE:
Sauce can be made in advance and kept for up to 2 weeks in the fridge, covered. Bring to room temperature and shake vigorously prior to serving.
