How to Make Grilled Mustard And Herb Chicken

De-bone one whole chicken (approximately 3-4 lbs).
In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Place the deboned chicken in a large resealable bag or container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
Preheat your grill or barbecue to high heat. You should see visible smoke.
Place the chicken skin-side down on the hot grill.
Let the chicken sear undisturbed, allowing the skin to crisp and brown. Expect smoke and sizzling! This should take approximately 4-5 minutes.
Flip the chicken and continue to grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve immediately with a generous sprinkle of sea salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
