Ingredients

grated rind and juice of 1 lemon

¼cup (60ml) olive oil

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 birdseye chillies, finely chopped

1 tablespoon dried oregano

2 spatchcock, butterflied

lemon wedges, oregano sprigs, to serve

Directions

Combine lemon rind, juice, oil, garlic, chilli and oregano in a large, shallow dish. Add spatchcock and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight to marinate, turning a few times to coat well.

Preheat barbecue on medium. Cook spatchcock, covered, for 15 minutes each side, brushing regularly with marinade, until cooked through.

Serve spatchcock with lemon wedges and oregano sprigs.

Tip: To "butterfly" spatchcock, cut down centre of breast bone with scissors. Turn over and press all over with the palm of your hand, until flat.
