Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (2 1/2- to 30-pound) chicken, backbone removed and chicken flattened
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 oz. Parmesan, grated (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/4 c. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/4 c. toasted hazelnuts or almonds, chopped
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 romaine hearts, halved lengthwise

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high set up for direct and indirect grilling.
  2. Loosen skin of chicken and spread garlic underneath. Season with salt and pepper. Grill over direct heat, breast-side down, covered, until golden-brown and charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and grill over indirect heat, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, combine Parmesan, parsley, hazelnuts, lemon zest and juice, and 3 tablespoons oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Brush romaine with remaining tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Grill, over direct heat, turning once, until charred and wilted, 1 to 3 minutes.
  5. Serve the chicken and romaine topped with the parsley-lemon sauce.
