GRILLED CHICKEN WITH LEMON, ROSEMARY, AND MUSTARD



GRILLED CHICKEN WITH LEMON, ROSEMARY, AND MUSTARD image

Categories     Chicken     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 large garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Place chicken on 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Whisk 1/4 cup lemon juice, 4 tablespoons mustard, and black pepper in small bowl to blend. Pour over chicken; turn to coat. Cover; chill at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours, turning occasionally. Melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Add rosemary, garlic, and remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice and 2 tablespoons mustard. Simmer basting sauce 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Rewarm basting sauce; spoon 3 tablespoonfuls into small bowl and reserve. Place chicken on rack. Cover barbecue and grill 2 minutes. Uncover and grill until cooked through, basting occasionally with sauce from pan, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Brush with reserved 3 tablespoons sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken breasts for this recipe. If using a whole chicken, remove the backbone and flatten it out. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken: The marinade in this recipe helps to flavor and tenderize the chicken. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side for chicken breasts, and 20-25 minutes per side for a whole chicken.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast or thigh. The chicken is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: This will help to keep the juices in the chicken and prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion:

Grilled Lemon Rosemary Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a summer cookout. The marinade infuses the chicken with flavor, and the grilled lemons and rosemary add a bright and herbaceous touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
