In light of prices going up, I find myself purchasing more whole chickens. I don't really care for chicken and that presents a bit of an issue. I like it grilled, so I thought, what the heck. We butchered a whole chicken, and then I marinaded it for a little less than 8 hours. The recipe said 8 hours or overnight, and I think next time I will marinate for longer.
Marinade:
1/2 cup olive oil
juice of 2 lemons (I used three)
2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme (mine isn't ready to cut yet, so I added a little more of the above)
3 chopped cloves garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Marinate for a long time and grill.
It wasn't bad, I will make it again. I served it with grilled summer squash packets, yellow squash and zucchini chopped, with tomato, olive oil, lemon juice and feta cheese wrapped in tin foil. And The Pioneer Woman's Crash Hot Potatoes.
