    wonderful - I never have fresh rosemary so I use a mixture of dried rosemary and fresh or dried thyme, sometimes I add a little herbs de provence. I marinate at least 8 hrs or better yet overnight I leave it spread open and put it in a 13 X 9 pan skin side down and cover tightly with cling rap in refrigerator.

    One of my favorite ways to grill chicken. It's also the most cost effective to buy a whole fryer than it already cut up. Plus it is great for those who like both dark and white meat. Google how to butterfly your chicken if you don't know how. It's super easy!

    Enjoyed this recipe--as I do almost all Ina's recipes. However, Cook's Illustrated had a very similar recipe listed about two years ago. They butterflied but did not debone the chicken. Those of you who prefer to do it yourself--just butterfly the chicken by removing the backbone. Do not debone it, just be prepared to add some cooking time... Still a great recipe and unlike the Cook's recipe--Ina uses less olive oil so there are fewer flare-ups on the grill!

    I have made this chicken several times, truly wonderful! I had a dinner party, one of the guests being a cookbook writer...she went crazy over this. I love that Ina keeps things simple, fresh and always delicious!

    This will become a staple at my house. Ok, so maybe the grocery store employees weren't "thrilled" to have to debone and butterfly a chicken, but if you marinade the chicken overnight, it is incredibly good! Even my kids loved it! Great BBQ recipe.

    This is a wonderfully flavorful chicken and presents beautifully on the plate. I love doing it with Cornish Game Hens. I have made all of Ina's roast chicken recipes and all are tasty but the butterflied look is beautiful.

    A little too much on the lemon side, but was good - especially with some rosemary rice.

    I'm a newlywed. I've been trying to experiment here and there with different recipes. I was watching Food Network and saw this recipe. Ina is amazing! I didn't have butterfly chicken in the house. All I had was boneless, skinless chicken breast. I tailored the recipe according to the chicken breast. It came out awesome! My husband loved it! I will definately use this recipe again! Thank-you!

    I don't understand how it is Ina's or the recipe's fault if you burned your chicken. Did Ina come to your house and cook it for you? If not, she had no control over whether you burned it, and to give the recipe one star because it was burned isn't fair at all. You can't judge the flavor, either, if you took off all the skin, because that's where all the flavorful ingredients were.
