This savory grilled chicken offers a pungent burst of lemon flavor that is so fresh and tasty.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Grill Time: 35-45 minutes
Serves 4
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 Tbsp. Victoria Taylor’s Lemon Pepper
- 2 Tbsp. snipped fresh herbs such as rosemary, basil or oregano
- 1 large lemon, thinly sliced
- 4 split (bone-in) chicken breast halves (12-14 oz. each)
In small bowl, combine oil, Lemon Pepper and herbs; set aside.
Rinse chicken under cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Loosen skin from chicken by inserting fingertips under skin and gently pushing between skin and meat. Evenly brush herb mixture under skin of each breast. Place 2-3 lemon slices under skin, overlapping if necessary. Lightly brush any remaining herb mixture over top of chicken.
Prepare grill for indirect cooking over medium heat. Place chicken, skin side up, on grid of grill. Grill; covered 35-40 minutes. If desired, turn chicken over for last 5-10 minutes for grill marks. Grill until thermometer registers 170°F in thickest part of breast and juices run clear. Transfer to serving platter.
Grill Tip: Resist the urge to peak during cooking since heat will escape every time the grill cover is lifted.
