Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 chicken (4 pounds), cut into 10 pieces (breasts halved crosswise)
1 cup packed cilantro leaves
1 chopped serrano chile
2 chopped scallions
Finely grated zest of 1 lime, plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for coating

Steps:

  • Combine 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle mixture evenly on chicken, then set chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Let stand uncovered 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, chop cilantro; combine with serrano, scallions, lime zest and juice, and oil. Season with salt.
  • Heat a charcoal grill, creating a two-zone fire with vents partially open. Position coals on one side of the grill for direct high heat, and leave the other side empty for indirect lower heat. (On a gas grill, turn one side on high, and leave the other burners off.) Lightly coat chicken with olive oil and place over indirect heat. Cover and cook, turning occasionally, until pieces are cooked through and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts (not touching bones) registers 165 degrees, about 30 minutes.
  • Uncover grill; transfer chicken to direct heat. Brush dressing over chicken as pieces come off the grill.

This recipe is not worth the effort. I've had better grilled chicken at restaurants.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't turn out as well as the picture. It wasn't as juicy or flavorful.

This recipe is too complicated for a weeknight meal. I'm looking for something that's quicker and easier.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked to see more spices or herbs in the dressing.

The herb dressing was too oily for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken was dry and overcooked.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the chicken and the dressing, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I'm not a huge fan of grilled chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the herb dressing was the perfect complement.

The chicken was perfectly cooked - tender and juicy on the inside, with a crispy skin on the outside.

This grilled chicken recipe is a keeper! The herb dressing is so flavorful and versatile - I've used it on chicken, fish, and even roasted vegetables.
