Lemon Butter chicken recipe

I used this for spatchcock chicken for years and have for some time been using it for any chicken we do.
Raised grid direct (about 4 inches above gasket level) at 375 dome temp.= to an internal temp of 160+ for breasts, 180 for thighs
Dry brine the chicken with about 4 teaspoons of coarse salt (for a whole chicken, adjust for less chicken.)
leaving the skin on and place chicken in fridge to dry out the skin . Overnight or 5/6 hours, whatever.
before putting the recipe on the chicken, take a damp towel and wipe off the excess remaining salt.
Sprinkle the recipe over the chicken for 15/45 minutes or whatever before putting it on.
We mix it in a bowl and put it in a shaker.

2 tsp garlic powder or 2 Garlic cloves cut up
1.5 tsp Lemon peel (seasoning powder dried - not zest) a bit hard to find in our area
6 packets True lemon granular crystallized powder (now available as true lemon crystalized in a jar, convert as needed)
2 tsp Pepper
2 tsp Butter seasoning powder
1 tsp Sea Salt/crushed up
This has been working beautifully for us, hope it helps you.
FWIW, I tried a number of ways - Lemon Juice, concentrated, etc and could never get the flavors until I tried the dried powder. Nice and lemon tasting, just the right amount

I post from a laptop, not my phone so it's a bit of a hassle to get a pic posted
I did give some basic info such as dome temp, raised grid, etc. which I have noticed is sometimes not in threads.
