WHOLE GRILLED CHICKEN WITH LEMON AND GARLIC



Whole Grilled Chicken With Lemon and Garlic image

Absolutely divine. This recipe comes from Weber's Big Book of Grilling, which is our grill bible. Be sure when you truss the bird that you secure the cavity and the neck with a pin of some sort, otherwise the wine and lemon juice will just come right back out when you pour it in. Also, make sure your grill really is at a medium heat, otherwise the skin will char. The prep time listed here includes the time it takes to roast the garlic.

GRILLED LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS WITH HERBS



Grilled Lemon-Garlic Chicken Thighs with Herbs image

With these grilled lemon-garlic chicken thighs, you can call yourself a superstar.

Provided by Burning Glove

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 8h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 medium lemons, zested and juiced
5 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
5 sprigs Fresh Sage
3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
8 (5 ounce) chicken thighs, trimmed
kosher salt to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
2 medium lemons

Steps:

  • Zest and juice 4 lemons; reserve remaining 2 whole.
  • Combine olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, sage, garlic, and crushed red pepper for marinade in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Place chicken thighs in a single layer in a wide, flat dish. Add the herb mixture and massage to coat. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush off any excess herbs and oil. Season generously with salt and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Cut the 2 whole lemons in half and cut the tips off of the ends; this will allow the lemons to stand up without rolling around.
  • Place the chicken, skin side-down, on the preheated grill. Grill chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, then rotate 90 degrees to create a crosshatch pattern. Grill another 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and grill until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • At the same time, grill the lemons, flesh-side down, alongside the chicken, until caramelized. Flip over to grill on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with grilled chicken.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon zest and juice: Fresh lemon zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor to the chicken and bread. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: Marinating the chicken in the lemon-herb mixture helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for 30 minutes, you can still grill it, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: Medium heat helps to cook the chicken evenly without burning it. If you grill the chicken over high heat, it will cook too quickly on the outside and be raw on the inside.
  • Baste the chicken with the marinade while it cooks: Basting the chicken with the marinade helps to keep it moist and flavorful. You can also baste the chicken with melted butter or olive oil.
  • Serve the chicken with garlic bread: Garlic bread is a classic side dish for grilled chicken. You can make your own garlic bread or use store-bought garlic bread.

Conclusion:

Grilled lemon chicken with garlic bread is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the garlic bread is crispy and buttery. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
