LEMON AND HERB MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS
Steps:
- In a small bowl combine the lemon juice and zest, chopped herbs, garlic, crushed red pepper, and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Whisk to combine.
- Place the chicken thighs in a wide flat dish so they are in a single layer. Add the herb mixture. Massage the thighs to coat with the herb mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Note: If doing a quick marinade, leave the chicken out of the fridge for up to 1 hour.
- Preheat grill. Brush and oil the grill to clean.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush off any excess herbs and oil. Season the chicken generously with salt and drizzle with a little bit of fresh olive oil.
- Cut the 2 whole lemons in half and cut the tips off the ends; this will allow the lemons to stand up without rolling around. Place the chicken, skin side down, on the preheated grill. Place the lemons, flesh side down, on the preheated grill. Grill the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes and then rotate the chicken 90 degrees to create the lovely crosshatch pattern. Grill the chicken for another 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. Check for doneness (the chicken should be well cooked). Check the lemon halves to see if they are beautifully caramelized. Turn over to grill on the bottom for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with grilled lemon.
- Call yourself a superstar!

Steps:
- Combine the olives, lemon zest, rosemary, and thyme in an attractive jar that has a cover. Bury the garlic clove in the center, add the oil, stir, cover, and refrigerate until you need it, up to several weeks. Give the mixture another stir now and then to blend. And try other flavors: herbs such as tarragon, other citrus peels, chilis, seasoned oils-whatever you like.
Tips:
- Choose the right olives: Select firm, ripe olives that are free of blemishes and bruises. Fresh olives work best, but you can also use jarred olives that have been packed in brine or water. If using jarred olives, rinse them thoroughly before using.
- Make the marinade: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices in a jar or bowl. Shake or whisk to combine. The marinade should be flavorful and aromatic.
- Marinate the olives: Place the olives in a clean jar or container. Pour the marinade over the olives, making sure they are completely covered. Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The longer you marinate the olives, the more flavorful they will be.
- Serve and enjoy: When you're ready to serve the olives, drain them from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Arrange the olives on a platter or in a bowl. Serve as an appetizer or snack, or use them as a garnish for salads, sandwiches, or other dishes.
Conclusion:
Marinated olives are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer. They're easy to make and can be flavored with a variety of herbs, spices, and citrus fruits. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile. Marinated olives are a great way to add a pop of flavor and color to your next party or gathering.
