Steps:
- Place the chicken in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Whisk together the lemonade, garlic, mustard, oregano, dried onion, cumin, 1 tablespoon salt and a few good grinds of pepper in a large liquid measuring cup until combined. Pour over the chicken, making sure all the pieces are fully submerged. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or preferably 24 hours.
- Prepare a grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grill grates.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade; reserve 2 cups of marinade and discard the rest. Place the chicken on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat dry. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides liberally with salt and pepper and arrange the pieces skin-side down on the grill, leaving some space between each. Cook until the skin is lightly charred and releases easily from the grill, about 2 minutes. Rotate the chicken pieces about 90 degrees so the skin won't burn and cook another 2 minutes. Flip the chicken skin-side up. Cover the grill and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each thigh reads 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes more. If the chicken pieces are getting too dark in spots, move them around the grill to cook evenly. Transfer to a platter and let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan and place on the still-hot grill. Bring to a boil, then continue to cook until it has thickened slightly and reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
- Finely grate the zest from 1 of the lemons, then sprinkle over the chicken. Squeeze the juice from half of the zested lemon (about 1 tablespoon) into the sauce and stir to combine. Transfer to a small bowl for serving. Cut the remaining 2 lemons in half crosswise.
- Place the lemon halves on the grill, flesh-side down, and grill until lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve alongside the chicken and sauce.

- Make marinade:
- Combine all ingredients except chicken in a blender and blend until emulsified.
- Prepare chicken:
- Put chicken pieces in a nonreactive bowl or dish or a large sealable plastic bag. Add marinade and turn chicken once or twice to coat. Marinate, covered and chilled, at least 8 hours. Bring chicken to room temperature 30 minutes before grilling and discard marinade.
- To cook chicken using a charcoal grill:
- Open vents on bottom of grill and on lid. Light a large chimney starter of charcoal (80 to 100 briquettes). Leaving about one quarter of grill free of charcoal, bank lit charcoal across rest of grill so that coals are about 3 times higher on opposite side.
- When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 to 20 minutes) and you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear chicken on lightly oiled grill rack over coals, uncovered, turning occasionally, until browned, 4 to 8 minutes total. Move chicken to side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning occasionally, until just cooked through, about 12 minutes for wings, 18 to 20 minutes for breasts, and 20 to28 minutes for dark meat. Transfer chicken as cooked to a platter.
- To cook chicken using a gas grill:
- Preheat all burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then adjust heat to moderately high. Sear chicken on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once, until well browned, 4 to 8 minutes total. Turn off 1 burner (middle burner if there are 3) and arrange chicken on rack above shut-off burner. Cook, covered with lid and turning over occasionally, until just cooked through, about 12 minutes for wings, 18 to 20 minutes for breasts, and 20 to 28 minutes for dark meat. Transfer chicken as cooked to a platter.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for 2-zone heat (for a gas grill, set one burner to medium-high and one or two burners to low; for a charcoal grill, bank most of the coals on one side). Lightly oil grate. Pat chicken breasts dry; season generously all over with salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- Thinly slice 1 lemon crosswise into rounds; pluck out seeds. Place half of lemon slices in a small bowl. Add garlic and 1 Tbsp. oil and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Set remaining lemon slices aside for serving. Slice remaining lemon in half and squeeze juice into another small bowl (you should have about 1/4 cup). Set aside.
- Pat chicken dry again (the salt will have drawn out more moisture) and rub with 2 Tbsp. oil. Grill oiled lemon slices over hot side of grill, turning once, until charred in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Grill chicken on cooler side of grill, skin side down, until skin is browned and starting to crisp, 15-20 minutes. Turn chicken over, cover, and continue to grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breasts registers 160°F, 8-10 minutes longer. If desired, uncover grill, move chicken over to hotter side, and lightly char a minute or two. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10-15 minutes.
- Pull chicken meat from bones and slice 1/2" thick. Place on a rimmed platter, shingling slices. Scatter thyme sprigs, olives, grilled lemon slices, and reserved fresh lemon slices over. Season with more salt and pepper; drizzle reserved lemon juice and remaining 1/2 cup oil over. Let sit at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving.

SLOW-GRILLED CHICKEN WITH LEMON
The secret to grilling chicken is a combination of low heat, indirect grilling (in which the food is set off from, not over, the coals), and a final blast of hot, direct heat.

Steps:
- Start a charcoal, wood or gas fire in a grill big enough to bank coals to one side once they get hot. With a gas grill, turn heat to high on one side and leave other side off; if there are three burners, you can set the two side ones to medium or even low and cook in the middle. When grill is hot, put chicken on least hot part, skin-side up, and cover grill. Let chicken cook for about 20 minutes.
- When bottom of chicken is lightly seared and meat is beginning to look cooked, turn meat over in the same part of grill. Cover again and check after about 10 minutes. When skin is lightly browned, turn again. Continue to cook in the least hot part of grill until chicken looks close to done.
- At this point, you can set chicken aside for a couple of hours, if you wish. When ready to serve, move chicken to hot side of grill. With a gas grill, simply ignite the burner that is under chicken. Cook attentively, turning chicken until it is brown and crisp all over, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature; just before serving, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and lots of pepper. Serve, if you like, with chipotle-peach salsa.
