Steps
1 Done | For Provencal Herb Rub, combine your ingredients. Heat your grill. Start with mixing 1 tablespoon of rub with butter. Skin the chicken from the breast and legs, starting at the neck end. Put the herb butter under the skin and try spreading evenly. Put the remaining rub inside the chicken. The next step is to tie the legs together; using 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, rub the chicken’s exterior. |
2 Done | For Garlic Paste, blend the above ingredients. |
3 Done | Coat the grill grate oil after brushing. Put the chicken on the grill, but it should be away from heat, cover it, and grill till you spot that the thermometer inserted in the breast registers 170°F (about 1 hour and 20 minutes). |
4 Done | If you are cooking with charcoal, you have to replenish the coals after 1 hour at most. During the last 20 minutes, Baste twice with Garlic Paste. You should keep the temperature of the grill around 350°F. Use a spatula and tongs to place the chicken on a platter. Set aside for 8 to 10 minutes; you can carve and serve it. |
