Ingredients

• Chicken (poularde) - 500 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh thyme - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Fresh rosemary - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken into quarters and place it in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally for up to 2 hours.
3. Preheat the barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the skin is crispy and golden.
6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
