Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, the juice of 2 lemons, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon chili flakes, and salt and pepper to taste.

Marinate Chicken: Place your cut pieces of whole chicken into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Preheat Cooking Surface: Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (around 400°F). If using a grill, oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Cook Chicken: Place the chicken onto the preheated grill or into the oven, cooking for 30–40 minutes, turning occasionally until beautifully charred.

Rest and Serve: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
