grilled chicken

Grilling a whole chicken is easy. Ask your butcher to butterfly the bird for the barbecue. Brush the chicken with olive oil, kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. To prepare the grill, warm up the whole thing. Turn the heat to low in one area of the barbecue. Leave one burner on medium. Place the chicken on the low area, breast side up. Turn every 20 minutes for about 40-60 minutes. During the last 10-20 minutes, brush the chicken with your favourite barbecue sauce.

Menu:

• Grilled chicken
• Roasted local asparagus...just can't get enough of this!
• Tossed salad with leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and freshly chopped tarragon (for the dressing: sprinkle salad with kosher salt, garlic powder and freshly ground pepper, drizzle with red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, toss using your hands)
