Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Lemon Oregano Chicken.
Step 1
To start your delicious grilled chicken journey, grab a mixing bowl and combine fresh lemon juice, a splash of olive oil, minced garlic, ground oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Give it a good stir until everything is well blended, creating a zesty marinade that will infuse your chicken with flavor.
Step 3
Next, pour this vibrant marinade into a sealable plastic bag.
Step 4
Add your chicken breasts, making sure they’re thoroughly coated in that tasty mixture.
Step 5
Squeeze out any excess air from the bag and seal it tightly, locking in all that goodness.
Step 6
Now, let the chicken soak up those flavors by refrigerating it for at least 8 hours, or even better, overnight.
Step 7
This step is key for achieving that mouthwatering taste.
Step 8
When you’re ready to grill, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to keep your chicken from sticking.
Step 9
Once the grill is hot, take the chicken out of the marinade, giving it a little shake to remove any extra liquid, and toss the leftover marinade away.
Step 10
Place the chicken on the grill and let it cook for about 5 minutes on each side.
Step 11
You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 12
For an extra layer of assurance, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 13
Now, sit back and enjoy the tantalizing aroma of your perfectly grilled chicken!.
