Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Grilled Chicken.
Step 1
Start by rinsing your chicken breasts under cold water, then gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, ground ginger, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Step 3
Give it a good stir to blend the flavors into a delicious marinade.
Step 4
Next, pour this zesty marinade into a large resealable plastic bag.
Step 5
Add the chicken breasts, seal the bag tightly, and give it a gentle massage to ensure every piece of chicken is coated in that flavorful mixture.
Step 6
For the best results, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, but if you have the time, letting it sit for up to 24 hours will really enhance the flavor.
Step 7
When you're ready to cook, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to keep the chicken from sticking.
Step 8
Once the grill is hot, take the chicken out of the marinade and discard the leftover marinade.
Step 9
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on each side.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 11
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as it fills the air, and get ready to savor a delicious meal!.
