Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Look for a whole chicken that is about 3-4 pounds. This size will cook evenly on the grill.

  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water. Drain the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Remove the giblets from the cavity of the chicken.

  • Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or thyme.

  • Make the herb butter: Combine the softened butter, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix until well combined.

  • Stuff the chicken: Loosen the skin of the chicken breast and thighs. Place a few tablespoons of the herb butter under the skin of each breast and thigh. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine.

  • Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken on the grill breast-side up. Cook for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through. You can check the chicken is cooked by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Let the chicken rest: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Conclusion:

Grilled whole chicken with herbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the herbs add a delicious touch. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
