By gaster16

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
• 3 teaspoons salt divided
• 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 garlic clove chopped
• 1 whole chicken butterflied
• 1 teaspoon Hungarian sweet paprika
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• Nonstick vegetable spray
• 1-1/2 oranges
• 1 foil wrapped brick or 1 cast iron skillet

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk juices, olive oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and garlic in glass baking dish. Add chicken to marinate. Turn to coat, chill 2 hours turning occasionally. Can be done 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Mix remaining 2 teaspoons salt, paprika and pepper in small bowl. Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbeque (medium heat). Slice 1/2 orange into 1/4-1/8” thick slices. Remove chicken from marinade, pat dry. Loosen skin from chicken breast and slide 1-2 orange slices between skin and breast. Loosen skin from thighs and slide 1-2 orange slices between skin and thighs. Rub paprika mixture over both sides of chicken. Place chicken skin side down, on grill. Place foil-wrapped bricks or cast-iron skillet atop chicken. Cover and grill until skin is crispy and brown, about 15 minutes. Remove bricks or skillet. Using tongs or 2 large spatulas, turn chicken. Replace bricks or cast iron skillet and cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through about 20 minutes longer. Let chicken rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place whole orange on grill and cook until slightly charred, turning often, about 1 minute. Cut into wedges and serve alongside for squeezing over chicken.
