Grilled Rosemary Garlic Chicken

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Rosemary Garlic Chicken.

1. Step 1

   Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your flavorful marinade.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, finely chopped rosemary, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, black pepper, and kosher salt.

3. Step 3

   Reserve 2 tablespoons of this zesty mixture for basting later.

4. Step 4

   Next, place the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag and pour the remaining marinade over them.

5. Step 5

   Seal the bag tightly and gently massage the marinade into the chicken, allowing it to soak up those delicious flavors.

6. Step 6

   Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for about 30 minutes to enhance its taste.

7. Step 7

   While the chicken is marinating, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high setting and lightly oil the grill grate to ensure the chicken doesn’t stick.

8. Step 8

   Once marinated, remove the chicken from the bag, shaking off any excess marinade, and discard the leftover marinade.

9. Step 9

   Grill the chicken on the preheated grill for approximately 4 minutes.

10. Step 10

    Flip the chicken, baste it with the reserved marinade, and continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through, with no pink remaining in the center and the juices running clear—this should take about 5 more minutes.

11. Step 11

    To ensure perfect doneness, an instant-read thermometer should register at least 165°F (74°C).

12. Step 12

    Once grilled to perfection, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it with foil.

13. Step 13

    Allow it to rest for at least 2 minutes before serving, letting the juices redistribute for a succulent bite.

    Enjoy your perfectly grilled chicken, bursting with flavor!.
