Rub the chicken with olive oil and lemon juice.
1 whole chicken, ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tbsp. lemon juice
In a bowl, combine all the dried herbs and spices; season generously.
1 tbsp. dried oregano, 1 tbsp. onion powder, 1 tbsp. garlic powder, 2 tsp. dried parsley flakes, 1 tsp. dried thyme, 1 tbsp. paprika powder, 1 tbsp. garlic powder, ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Rub the chicken with the spice mixture, making sure it is well covered.
Marinate for 2 to 12 hours in the fridge.
Preheat grill to medium.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator, and season it to taste again.
Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and slowly grill until the fat renders and the skin becomes golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes.
Turn the chicken over, close the cover and continue grilling until cooked through and no longer pink, about 25 minutes.
Remove from grill and let rest for about 5 minutes before carving.
