GRILLED LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN



Grilled Lemon Garlic Chicken image

Found this recipe way back in the Taste of Home's Quick Cooking magazine and tweaked it for my family's taste. I have pounded the chicken breasts before I marinated them and fixed them on the Foreman Grill. It takes little time to prepare marinade but it needs to marinate for 6-8 hours then cook for 1 hour or until the chicken juice is clear.

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:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this dish, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best. Make sure the chicken is evenly sized so that it cooks evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning or drying out.
  • Use a grill pan or basket: This will help to keep the chicken from falling through the grates of the grill.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • Serve the chicken with leeks and potatoes: These vegetables are a delicious and healthy accompaniment to the chicken.

Conclusion:

Grilled lemon garlic chicken with leeks and potatoes is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then grilled until cooked through. The leeks and potatoes are roasted in the oven until tender and browned.
