Ingredients and Method
Ingredients
- 2 packs ButcherBox.ca boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup minced fresh herbs* (thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano)
- 4 garlic cloves, grated or finely minced
Method
- Mix the marinade. Combine the olive oil, herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl (glass or plastic is best) and mix well. The marinate can be mixed in advanced and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Marinate the chicken. Trim the chicken thighs of excess fat. If you're using chicken breasts, butterfly them or pound them into an even 1/2 inch thickness. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours. Because this marinate is high in acidity, I don't recommend marinating longer than 2 hours.
- Prep your grill. Before using your grill, make sure to clean the grates of any food and debris. Lightly grease the grates with nonstick spray. Set the temperature to medium-high. Close the lid and wait until the temperature reaches 450 F.
- Grill the chicken. Place the marinated chicken on the prepared grill, disposing any excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 4-5 (6-8 minutes per side for chicken breast) minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the chicken registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Serve
