How to make it

  • 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.
