15 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 lbs chicken (or 1 whole broiler-fryer, cut into parts)
  • Deviled Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • Warm Orange-Thyme Vinaigrette
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Using poultry shears or sharp knife, split the chicken along the backbone, leaving the breastbone intact, a preparation technique known as spatchcocking.
  2. 2
    Flatten the chicken by pressing down on it firmly.
  3. 3
    In a shallow, glass baking dish, mix together all ingredients for the marinade. Add chicken, rubbing marinade over entire surface.
  4. 4
    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  5. 5
    While chicken is marinating, prepare coals for the grill. Grill chicken over medium-hot coals for 30 to 35 minutes, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F.
  6. 6
    Discard remaining marinade.
  7. 7
    While chicken is grilling, whisk together all ingredients for vinaigrette in a small, glass or nonstick saucepan.
  8. 8
    Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and let cool for 5 minutes.
  9. 9
    Over low heat, warm vinaigrette, whisking well.
  10. 10
    Carve the chicken and pour vinaigrette into a gravy pitcher. Serve chicken warm and pass vinaigrette separately.
