Preheat the grill. Set your grill to two-zone heating to 350 degrees F.
Prepare the chicken. Spatchcock your chicken, by cutting both sides of the backbone and then removing it. Then lay it flat on a baking sheet, pressing firmly on the breastbone until it breaks and the chicken lays flat. Drizzle on all sides with olive oil before seasoning both sides heavily with lemon pepper seasoning.

Grill the chicken over indirect heat. Place chicken, bone side down on indirect heat on the grill and cook for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 145 degrees F.
Move the chicken to direct heat. Transfer chicken to the direct heat side of the grill. Leave on direct heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature in the thickest part of the breast reads 160 degrees F and the skin is nicely browned.
Rest and serve. Remove from heat to a cutting board or serving platter and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy.
