Marinade
Combine the lemon juice with all the other ingredients up to and including the pepper. -
Chicken
Coat the chicken with half of the marinade, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for approx 30 mins. -
To grill in the oven
Place one baking tray lined with baking paper in the lower half of the oven and one rack in the centre. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top heat or grill only). Place the chicken on the hot rack, cook for approx. 20 mins., turn the chicken and cook for a further 20 mins. Coat twice with the marinade while cooking. In the final 5 mins., brush the chicken with the honey, finish cooking. Remove from the oven. -
To serve

Note:
To spatchcock a chicken means to remove the backbone and flatten the chicken (breast side up). This technique is also known as butterflying.
