  3. 3

    Stuff cavity with lemon slices, herbs, and crushed garlic.

    Flip carefully. Grill 7–8 min on the second side.

Tips

  • A clean, well-oiled grill is the difference between a clean flip and a stuck mess.
  • If your BBQ won't get very hot, finish in a 220°C oven after the initial sear.
