1 whole chicken
2 lemons
salt

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
2 yellow onions, cut into eighths
1 cup cherry tomatoes
bamboo skewer
1/2 cup oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika (www.worldspice.com has the real stuff)
1/2 teaspoon fresh Mexican oregano
kosher salt
black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Soak the skewers for an hour.
  • Set charcoal alight.
  • In your handy mortar grind the Oil, Garlic, Paprika, Oregano, Salt, and Peppercorns.
  • Skin, debone, and de-fat the chicken.
  • Cut into 1/2 cubes.
  • Rinse, pat dry, stir into Marinade.
  • Coat well.
  • Thread the Onion, Chicken, Peppers, and Cherry Tomatoes alternately onto the skewers.
  • Grill over medium coals for 15-20 minutes'til everything is done.
  • This works well grilled over a hibachi or other small grill on a picnic.
  • Prepare everything at home and do the grilling at the picnic site.
  • It's almost as good cooked under the broiler at home.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use a whole chicken that weighs between 3 and 4 pounds. A larger chicken may not cook evenly on the grill.
  • Prepare the chicken: Before grilling, remove the giblets and excess fat from the chicken. You can also truss the chicken to help it cook evenly.
  • Make the marinade: The marinade for this recipe is made with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and salt. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
  • Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken in a large bowl and pour the marinade over it. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are white-hot.
  • Grill the chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 15 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through. You can check the chicken by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Conclusion:

Argentine grilled lemon chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, and salt, and then grilled to perfection. The result is a juicy and tender chicken with a crispy skin. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
