Instructions
Grate ½ to 1 teaspoon of zest from 1 orange into a large mixing bowl. Squeeze in the juice from the orange. Add the juice from the lemon, ¾ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, garlic, rosemary and ¼ cup of olive oil. Reserve and set aside ¼ cup of the mixture. Add the chicken to the bowl, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat grill to medium. Place the chicken, skin side up, over indirect heat and cook, covered, for 35 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook, uncovered, over direct heat, until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, brush the onion slices with the remaining 1 tsp oil and season with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Grill until tender, about 8 minutes. Peel the remaining orange and slice into ¼-inch thick rounds. Cut the rounds into quarters and combine them with the grilled onion, lettuce, and reserved dressing in a bowl. Transfer to individual plates and serve with the chicken.
