Steps:
- Spatchcock (butterfly) the chicken (or ask your butcher to do it). Place the chicken on a cutting board with its backbone facing you. Using a pair of sturdy kitchen shears like this one (affiliate link) cut out the backbone by cutting along both sides of the spine, and remove it. Push down on the breasts to flatten the chicken. Flip the bird over and remove the wing tips.
- Season the chicken. Pat chicken dry and season with salt all over, lift the skin and apply salt underneath.
- Mix the marinade. In a small bowl, mix together the marinade ingredients (olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, spices, and minced garlic cloves).
- Apply the marinade to the chicken. Place the chicken in a large dish (with sides so that the marinade does not spill). Apply the majority of the marinade underneath the chicken skins (this will ensure best flavor), and be sure to rub some of the marinade on the back side of the chicken as well. Keep the chicken flat with skin side up. Marinate in the fridge for 2 to 4 hours.
- Grill. Preheat an outdoor grill over medium-high (400 degrees F) and make sure to lightly oil the grates. Place the chicken over indirect heat (this means, the burner or burners directly below the chicken should be turned off, while the outer burners surrounding it should remain on. Watch the video to see how Adam does this). Cover and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the chicken's internal temp reaches 165 degrees F. Check every few minutes, and if the chicken gains some color on one part, rotate as needed.
- Rest. Remove the chicken from the heat and set aside to rest for 10 minutes before slicing through to serve.

VERTICAL-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH POULTRY RUB
Steps:
- Poultry Rub:
- In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Rub the chicken on all sides with the oil and sprinkle with the poultry rub. Place the chicken upright on a vertical roaster, making sure the top of the roaster pokes through the neck cavity.
- Place in a small roasting pan and add enough chicken stock or water to come about 1/4-inch up the side of the pan. Roast until the juices run clear and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and carefully transfer from the roaster to a platter. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
- To serve, carve the chicken into pieces. Serve hot with the rice and vegetables.

- Season the chicken on all sides and inside the chicken cavity with salt, ground black pepper and spices/herbs. You can use any combination that you like, such as Italian seasoning, poultry seasoning, taco seasoning, Herb de Provence, dry thyme, rosemary, parsley, granulated garlic/onion, etc. You can also add some paprika, curry powder, and/or a bit of cayenne pepper to make it spicier.
- Marinate the chicken overnight, storing the chicken in the refrigerator. If you don’t have extra time, you can just season the chicken and bake right away, but the chicken will have more flavor if it has time to marinate.
- If you are using a can or glass jar, fill it 1/3-1/2 way with water or broth. For added flavor, you can add some onions, garlic or herbs to the liquid, which will steam up and permeate the chicken as it bakes.

- To prepare rub: Combine chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, salt, paprika, garlic powder, ginger and cayenne in a small bowl.

- Light your grill and mound your charcoal to one side of the grill, creating a "hotter" and a "less hot" side of the grill.
- Add the chicken to the hot grill, skin side up, on the cooler side of the grill. Place the chicken so that the legs are facing the hotter side of the grill, since they can take a little more cooking. Cover and allow the chicken to cook until it's nearly fully cooked (about 5 or so degrees away from 165F). This should take about an hour or so, use a meat thermometer to check when you think it might be getting close. The skin should start to dry out a little, if it seems like it's drying out too much you can brush it with a little vegetable oil.
- When the chicken is almost fully cooked, baste it with your sauce of choice (optional) and flip it over so it is skin side down on the hotter side of the grill. Cover and allow to cook for a few more minutes until the skin is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked. Make sure to check on it a couple times to make sure it isn't getting too charred for your liking. If you need to cook it a little longer but don't want the skin to get burnt, move it back to the middle or the cooler side of the grill to finish cooking.

- Preheat a gas grill to medium or build a two-zone fire (coals on one side of the grill) in a charcoal grill and let it burn down to medium heat (about 400 degrees F).
- Remove giblets from chicken and trim any excess skin and fat. Loosen the skin over the breast and thigh meat. Rub oil, salt and pepper under the skin onto the breast meat and leg meat, and rub a little on the skin and inside the cavity.
- If using a gas grill, turn off part of the grill (leaving 1 to 2 burners lit, depending on your grill). Place the chicken on the grill rack over the unlit part. Close the lid and grill until the chicken is very tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh without touching bone registers 165 degrees F, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. (If using a charcoal grill, add 10 coals after the first 30 minutes to maintain the heat.) Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

- Start with setting up your grill for indirect cooking. Clean and oil the grates. Turn your burners that will be on to full and watch grill surface temperature. Aim for 350° to 400° in the indirect area. Adjust the lite burners as needed.
- Clean, trim, and pat dry. Be sure to remove the giblets. I have a hard time not rinsing the interior of a bird. If you do it, do it carefully and clean up after done.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the microwave and brush all sides of the bird. Save the remainder for brushing the bird during the rotation on the grill.
- Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Garlic powder or another seasoning if you wish. I used my 7:2:2 seasoning. You can use other seasonings if you want.

- Drizzle chicken with olive oil and season on all sides with the sweet rub. I don't recommend rubbing in your seasoning because it will just pull back on the skin and your seasoning will chunk.
- Place your chicken directly on the grill grates on your smoker. Close the lid and smoke for 3 1/2 - 4 hours. Breasts should be about 160-165 degrees F. The thighs should be about 170-175 degrees F.

- Remove the neck and giblets from chicken. Twist wing tips under the back. Cut one of the garlic cloves lengthwise in half. Rub skin of chicken with cut edge of garlic. Place garlic halves, lemon slices, and sweet pepper slices in cavity of chicken. Mince remaining two cloves of garlic. Combine minced garlic, basil, and salt; set aside. Starting at the neck on one side of the breast, slip your fingers between skin and meat, loosening the skin as you work toward the tail end. Once your entire hand is under the skin, free the skin around the thigh and leg area up to, but not around, the tip of the drumstick. Repeat on the other side of the breast. Rub garlic mixture over entire surface under skin. Securely fasten opening with water-soaked wooden toothpicks. Stir together oil and lemon juice; brush over chicken.
- Arrange preheated coals around a drip pan in a covered grill. Test for medium heat above pan. Place chicken, breast side up, on grill over drip pan. Cover and grill for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until chicken is no longer pink and the drumsticks move easily in their sockets, brushing occasionally with oil-lemon mixture. Remove chicken from grill and cover with foil. If desired, serve on a platter with steamed new potatoes and garnish with fresh oregano. Let stand for 5 minutes before carving. Makes 5 servings.
