Steps:
- Whisk and dissolve the salt in the water in a medium bowl.
- Flatten the chicken breasts. Place one chicken breast in a sealable clear bag over a cutting board, and beat it with a meat mallet/tenderizer until it's about 1/2 inch thick all around. Repeat for all chicken breasts.
- Place the chicken breasts in the brine, cover with plastic wrap, and place the bowl in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to about 400 ºF.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the bowl and pat each one dry with paper towel.
- Place all 4 flattened chicken breasts, side by side on a large serving dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together all the spices.
- Sprinkle the spices evenly over all 4 chicken breasts, on both sides.
- Drizzle some oil on a paper towel or old clean cloth towel and use tongs to brush the oil over the grill grates.
- Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill and close the lid. Cook for about 2 minutes.
- Open the lid and (without flipping) rotate the chicken breasts 45 degrees to create the cross hatch. The 45 degree angle is just for asthetics and doesn't need to be exact. Close the lid and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Flip the chicken breasts and repeat the last 2 steps.
- Your chicken is ready to be served! Serve on a ceaser salad, with fries, over some pasta, or any side you love. Enjoy!

GRILLED SPATCHCOCKED GREEK CHICKEN
We're big fans of spatchcocking - that's when the backbone of a chicken is removed and flattened out. The beauty of this extra step is that all parts of the chicken finish cooking at around the same time, so no more dry breast meat!

Steps:
- To spatchcock the chicken, use strong kitchen scissors or poultry shears and cut down either side of the spine. Pull out the spine, turn the chicken over and press down on the breast of the chicken to flatten it out to one thickness.
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Put the chicken in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag in a rimmed dish. Pour in half of the marinade, reserving the rest for serving later. Seal the bag and rotate it around to evenly distribute the marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season generously all over with salt and pepper; let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
- Place the chicken skin-side up on the indirect side of the grill with the legs facing the hotter side. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone) reads 150 to 160 degrees F (almost cooked through), about 50 minutes.
- Move the chicken over to the direct-heat side of the grill. After 2 minutes, flip the chicken to char and crisp up the skin side, another 3 or 4 minutes. Check that the temperature in the thigh is now at least 165 degrees F. If it is not, then move the chicken back to the indirect side, cover and cook until the final temperature is reached. Remove from the grill; let rest 20 minutes before carving.
- Stir the scallions and dill into the reserved marinade. Drizzle over the chicken or serve on the side.

Steps:
- To prep the chicken:
- On a work surface, place the chicken breast-side down with the neck of the chicken facing you. Using kitchen shears, cut along the length of the backbone on both sides and remove. Turn the chicken over, breast-side up. Open it on the counter and flatten the chicken as much as you can with your hands.
- In a large metal bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, and hot water, until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the onion, peppercorns, tarragon, garlic, ice water, and wine. Stir well. Add the chicken to the brine. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken from the brine and dry well with paper towels. Set the chicken aside. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the hot skillet, and then place the chicken into the skillet skin-side down. Place another heavy pan on the chicken pressing it down firmly to get maximum skin contact with the hot skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook under the weight for 8 to 10 minutes. Once browned, remove the weights; turn the chicken skin-side up. Place the chicken in the oven until the meat is 160 degrees F, about 20 to 25 minutes. Let the chicken rest 10 minutes before serving.

NIF'S BUTTERFLIED GRILLED WHOLE CHICKEN
YUM, YUM, YUM! And easy too :). The instructions are easier than they look - I was just being specific. This chicken cooks much quicker than a regular whole chicken because of the method that I use. Only 2 ingredients makes this a quick last minute delicious dish. Adjust the amount of rub used according to your own taste; I use 2 tablespoons total. If you don't have rub, you can just use some salt and pepper. The cooking time may vary slightly as not all barbeques cook at the same temperature. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat both sides of barbeque to high heat. While it is heating up, prepare chicken:.
- Place whole chicken on a baking sheet, breast side down. With kitchen shears, cut down each side of back bone and discard. Rinse chicken with cool water and place back on baking sheet, again breast side down.
- Sprinkle your desired amount of rub on the inside of the chicken and massage into the meat. Flip over, press the chicken down if it's not laying flat, and repeat the rub. Make sure you have coated the whole chicken.
- On BBQ, turn one side of grill off. Place chicken on the turned off side, breast side down. By doing that, you will get beautiful grill marks without the flare-ups and it will cook in indirect heat. BBQ for 15 minutes.
- Flip over in same area on grill and cook for another 25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 180°F.
- Remove from grill onto a clean baking sheet or plate. Tent with tin foil for at least 10 minutes before cutting up chicken.

MARINATED, GRILLED, FLATTENED CHICKEN RECIPE
Steps:
- To begin, flatten the chicken. To do this remove the backbone of the chicken by slicing down either side of the backbone with a sharp knife or sharp kitchen shears to remove it. Discard the backbone, and flatten the chicken, pushing down on the breast bone, and chicken's legs with the palm of your hand.In a ziplock bag (opened inside of a large bowl to keep it from spilling) combine all the rest of the ingredients to make the marinade.
- Mix together the marinade, add in the butterfly chicken, and seal, taking care to remove as much air as possible.At this point, either marinade for several hours or up to 12 hours, or freeze for another day. If freezing, on the day you'd like to cook the chicken, remove it from the freezer in the morning and allow it to defrost in the ziplock bag as it marinades.
- The best way to cook the flat chicken, is to use in-direct heat, by lighting one side of the grill, but placing the chicken on the opposite side of the grill. Place the whole bird out flat, skin side up, and discard any left over marinade. Cook for approximately one hour at medium heat, depending on the size of the chicken. Cook until the chicken has crisp skin and is golden brown, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Test the temperature with a meat thermometer placed in a thick area of the chicken, like the breast meat, or the thickest part of the thigh. Avoid cooking at a high heat, which will cause the outside to burn before it's cooked through, and dry out the meat.
- Let the whole roast chicken rest on a cutting board or baking sheet covered in aluminum foil for 10 minutes, before cutting into pieces and serving.
