This is from Southern Living May 2010. Full of flavor and so easy to do. The original recipe calls for 1/4 c of oil, but I changed it to be a little more health concious. I also used skinless bone in chicken breasts. Cheaper alternative to boneless skinless breasts.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

½ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup soy sauce
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels. Stir together the lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts, seal the bag, and massage to evenly coat chicken with lemon juice mixture. Place in refrigerator to marinate at least 20 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grate, and place about 4 inches from heat source.
Drain and discard marinade from the bag, and place chicken on preheated grill. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes on each side.

Tips:

Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article uses a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and thyme. You can also use other herbs and spices that you like.
Grill the chicken over medium heat: Grilling the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. If you grill the chicken over high heat, it will cook too quickly and become tough.
Baste the chicken with the marinade while it grills: Basting the chicken with the marinade while it grills will help to keep it moist and flavorful. You can also use a barbecue sauce or other sauce that you like.
Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Lexington-style grilled chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of herbs and spices, then grilled to perfection. The result is a tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken that is sure to please everyone at your table.
