Ingredients

1 chopped onion

1/2 cup fresh herbs (rosemary thyme, parsley)

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 clove garlic, sliced

1/2 lemon, zest grated, juiced

3 600g spatchcocks, halved, cleaned, dried

Method

1.In a food processor, combine onion, herbs, oil, garlic, zest and juice.

2.Place spatchcocks in a shallow dish, skin-side up. Rub marinade all over. Chill, covered, 4 hours or overnight.

3.Heat barbecue grill on medium. Barbecue spatchcocks, skin-side down, covered, 10 minutes. Turn and cook a further 10 minutes, covered, until cooked through.

4.Rest, covered with foil, for 10 minutes before serving with salad.

It’s a good idea to score to score any thick section of meat to allow more marinade to be absorbed. Baste occasionally during marinating.
