Difficulty and servings

Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 50 minutes, plus marinating
- Mix together the rosemary, fennel seeds, 3 tbsp olive oil, half the garlic, the lemon juice and half the zest. Season. Put the poussins in a large shallow glass dish or zip plastic bags and pour the marinade over. Marinate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight in the fridge.
- Heat the barbecue. Pat the poussins dry, drizzle with oil and season again. Put skin-side down on the barbecue. Wrap up 2 bricks in foil or use a heavy iron frying pan and weigh the poussins down for 15 minutes. Turn over and grill for 10 minutes with the bricks on the other side.
- Meanwhile, make the gremolata by mixing the remaining lemon zest, garlic clove and the parsley. Sprinkle it over the chicken and serve with a green salad.
