Prep Time10 Minutes

Cook Time55 Minutes
Ingredients
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 springs fresh oregano, chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 clove garlic, chopped
Sea salt, to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 Bell & Evans Spatchcock Chicken
FOR THE GRILLED PEACH & VIDALIA ONION RELISH: 2 fresh peaches, pit removed, grilled and diced
1/2 cup diced Vidalia onion
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon avocado oil
1 teaspoon fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
- To make the marinade: Whisk together the avocado oil, mustard, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Rub marinade on the chicken, getting into and under skin. The goal is even coverage over the entire bird.
- Heat the grill on medium-high heat (350-400 degrees).
- Place chicken skin side down on grill grates until lightly crispy and charred, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat on your grill to a medium-low (300-325). Flip chicken over and move to either an indirect heat area of the grill or a cold spot on your grill. Continue cooking the chicken until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165F. This should be approximately 45-55 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the grilled peach & Vidalia onion relish. Split peaches in half and grill. Combine the diced peaches, onion and bell pepper. Add remaining ingredients and adjust seasonings.
- When the chicken is finished cooking, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes, carve, and serve family style. Serve with the relish on the side.
