Chicken thighs are often less expensive and more flavorful.

Prepare the chicken by placing it breast side up and splitting it open with a knife to remove the backbone.

Mix together sliced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, juice of 1 lemon, salt, and olive oil to create a marinade.

Massage the marinade into the chicken, ensuring it's well coated.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 24 hours for better flavor penetration.

Preheat the grill or griddle pan for cooking.

Cook the chicken skin side down for 20 minutes, turning it occasionally to prevent burning.

After 20 minutes, flip the chicken and cook for another 20 minutes, ensuring it cooks evenly.

Rest the chicken after cooking before serving.
