Ingredients

2 whole chickens 800-1000g each

Oregano Marinade (for 2 chickens):

2 Medium Onion
6 Garlic Cloves
6 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Vinegar
4 Tsp Salt
2 Tsp Oregano
3/4 Tsp Black Pepper
1/2 Tsp Chilli Powder

Pomegranate Marinade (for 2 chickens):

2 Medium Onion
6 Garlic Cloves
6 Tbsp Pomegranate Molasses
4 Tbsp lemon juice
4 Tsp salt
3/4 Tsp Black Pepper
1 Tsp Chilli Flakes

Instructions

Blend all the marinade ingredients together in a blender until a well processed liquid forms
Thoroughly massage the marinade into the chickens
Allow them to marinate for a minimum of 1 hour but 3-12 is recommended
Once marinated, remove them from the marinade, and scrape off any excess marinade
Preheat your oven to its hottest temperature (mine was 240c) with the grill/broiler on high and place your shelf as close to it as possible
Place your chicken in a grilling basket, or on a wire rack, then place that within an oven tray and make sure the chicken is not touching the tray itself
Put the tray in the oven with the underside of the chicken facing upwards, and cook it for about 8-10 minutes
Remove it and flip the chicken over, so it is skin side up, then place back in the oven for around 6 minutes more
Remove once the skin is crispy and browned, and place on a flatbread to absorb any juices that runoff.

Notes

Debone your chickens according to the instructions in the video
Cooking time varies depending on your oven and the size of your chicken. Use a thermometer to check the temperature of your chicken. If grilling on a charcoal or gas grill, this will take 12 minutes or less in total.
Serve with Chilli and garlic sauce from my sauce video, and make a quick red onion, parsley, and sumac salad.
