Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mediterranean Grilled Chicken.
Step 1
In a glass dish, blend together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and a medley of herbs including rosemary, thyme, and oregano to craft a flavorful marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken pieces, ensuring each one is generously coated in the aromatic mixture.
Step 3
Cover the dish and let it rest in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse and deepen.
Step 4
When you're ready to grill, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent any sticking.
Step 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the leftover liquid, and place the pieces directly on the grill.
Step 6
Grill the chicken for approximately 15 minutes on each side, or until the meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear.
Step 7
Keep an eye on smaller pieces, as they may cook more quickly.
Step 8
For perfect doneness, use an instant-read thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when inserted near the bone.
Step 9
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma and savor the delicious results of your grilling adventure!.
