Grilled Chicken

Servings

Serving size

4 ounces chicken (about 1 thigh)

COOKING TIME

30 minutes

Ingredients

16 ounces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 4 thighs)

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/4 tsp., ground Black pepper

2 tsp. Lemon zest (zest of 1 whole lemon)

1 clove Garlic, raw (minced)

1 Tbsp. Fresh oregano (chopped)

1 Tbsp. Canola oil

Instructions

Gather all ingredients and equipment.

Preheat a grill to medium.

Pat the chicken dry to remove any moisture. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Evenly apply lemon zest, garlic, oregano, and oil to chicken. Coat well and leave at room temperature for 15 - 20 minutes (or marinate for up to 4 hours, covered, in refrigerator).

Carefully place chicken on oiled grill. The meat should sizzle when you add it. If it doesn’t, then the oil is not hot enough. Remove the chicken from the pan and wait for the oil to heat up more.

Cook the chicken for ~ 3-4 minutes and flip. Chicken should have dark grill marks. Cook on second side for another 3-4 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperatures of 165°F (74°C).

Remove from the grill. Allow the chicken to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
