"[Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] A whole chicken gets the Greek treatment with a simple marinade of olive oil and lemon along with plenty of garlic and oregano. The key to the juiciest meat and crispest skin? Butterflying the chicken and cooking it low and slow before finishing with a sear to crisp up the skin. Crisp skin and juicy meat with tons of lemon and garlic flavor. Why This Recipe Works * A lemon and oregano vinaigrette gives flavor before and after grilling. * Butterflying the chicken before grilling allows you to cook both the breasts and the legs evenly while maximizing crispy skin. * Starting the chicken low and slow over indirect heat and finishing over the hotter side of the grill gives you the juiciest results...."
