  1. Using kitchen scissors, cut the backbone out of the chicken and place in a large bowl. Season well with salt and black pepper and pour over half the olive oil and the vinegar, rubbing all over the chicken. Set aside for about 1 hour.
  2. For the black garlic chimichurri, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.Heat a hooded barbecue grill over medium heat. Grill the chicken skin down for 20 minutes (lid down at approximately 160C), and then skin up for a further 20 minutes. Alternatively, roast in the oven at 200C fan for 40 minutes. Rest the chicken for 15 minutes.
  3. While the chicken is resting, heat the barbecue grill over high heat. Drizzle the vegetables with oil and season well with salt. Grill separately in bunches until cooked to your liking.
  4. Serve the chicken on the greens with the chimichurri on the side.
