Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat grill on high. Cut the top off the garlic bulb (not the root end). Place the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and close foil around garlic to seal. Place on grill. Close cover of grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes. Remove from grill and allow to cool until able to handle.
Step 2
Squeeze garlic cloves out of bulb into bowl of a processor, then add all remaining ingredients for the sauce. Process until smooth; set aside.
Step 3
Place rosemary and thyme under chicken skin. Brush the skin side of the 2 butterflied chicken pieces with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Place chicken, skin side down on grill. Grill for 5 minutes then turn. Close grill, reduce heat to medium, and continue to grill for 25-30 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 170 degrees F.
Step 5
Remove from grill and place chicken on a cutting board. Allow chicken to rest for 15 minutes. Place on serving dish and drizzle generously with herb and lemon sauce.
Step 6
Garnish with fresh lemon slices and parsley sprigs. Serve.
