Prepare the marinade by combining 10 cl of olive oil, 4 cloves of crushed garlic, juice of 2 lemons, 1 tablespoon of paprika, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, and 1 tablespoon of dried basil in a bowl.

Add salt to the marinade, approximately 1 tablespoon, and mix well.

Cut the whole chicken in half to flatten it, removing excess fat as needed.

Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated and allowing it to soak in.

Place the marinated chicken in the refrigerator for 2 to 5 hours to let it marinate.

Prepare the grill for indirect cooking, pushing the coals to one side.

Once the grill is ready, place the chicken skin side down on the cooler side of the grill.

Close the grill lid to create an oven effect and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes, turning the chicken regularly.

After 30 to 40 minutes, check the chicken and move it to the hotter side of the grill to crisp the skin for an additional 15 minutes, checking frequently to ensure it does not burn.

Ensure the chicken is cooked through, checking that no blood runs when pierced.
