Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (3-4-pound) chickens, each cut into 4 pieces, backbones removed
3/4 cup olive oil, divided
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice plus 1 lemon
12 rosemary sprigs, divided
10 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 large pinch smoked paprika
Tomato Jam

Steps:

  • Arrange chicken in a glass baking dish. Drizzle with 1/2 cup oil and lemon juice. Coarsely chop leaves from 10 rosemary sprigs. Toss chopped rosemary and garlic with chicken to coat; season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cover; chill for 3 hours or overnight.
  • Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Let chicken come to room temperature. Brush off marinade; grill chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, about 20-22 minutes for legs and thighs, 16-18 minutes for breasts. Pour remaining 1/4 cup oil into a small bowl. Dip 2 rosemary sprigs in oil; occasionally baste chicken with sprigs until cooked through, about 5 more minutes.
  • Let chicken rest for 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Cut lemon in half lengthwise, then cut thinly crosswise into half-moons. Add to chicken with any leftover basting oil; toss to coat. Serve chicken on a platter with Tomato Jam alongside.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the rosemary flavor was nice. I would recommend marinating the chicken for longer next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more seasoning to the chicken before grilling.

I'm not a fan of rosemary, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The rosemary flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The chicken was also very moist and tender. I will definitely be making this again.
