Rub the wet marinade all over the butterflied chicken, ensuring both sides are coated.

Let the chicken sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

Grease a grill pan with a little olive oil.

Place the chicken skin side down on the grill pan to get grill marks.

Grill the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side.

Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until crispy and cooked through.
