Description

Discover the secrets to creating mouthwatering Zesty Greek Chicken with our step-by-step guide. Learn tips for juicy, flavorful results that will impress your guests!


Ingredients

  • 5 cup (120 ml) olive oil
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 (4 pound (1.81 kg)) chicken, cut into pieces


Instructions

  1. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oregano in a glass container. Submerge the chicken pieces in this blend; cover and keep in the fridge to marinate for 2 to 3 hours.
  2. Get your outdoor grill ready for high heat and apply a thin layer of oil to the grates.
  3. Position the chicken on the grill and discard the leftover marinade. Grill the chicken until it is cooked through and the juices are clear, approximately 15 minutes on each side (smaller pieces will cook faster). Ensure the internal temperature near the bone is 165°F (74°C) with a meat thermometer.
