Directions

  1. Halve one of each of the oranges and squeeze their juices into a large bowl. Mix with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and add the chicken halves, coating completely. Cover and refrigerate 1 ½ hours.
  2. Light a grill. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook, flipping once, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165°F, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes, then to a serving platter.
  3. Meanwhile, cut the peel from the remaining oranges and cut the oranges into circles about ¼-inch thick. Toss with the remaining olive oil, pistachios, purslane, salt, and pepper. Serve with the chicken.
