Garlic Lemon Pepper Grilled Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 Skinless Chicken Thighs (fat removed)
- 5 Lemons (Juiced)
- 1 1/2 tbsp Freshly chopped Sage
- 2 tbsp Freshly chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
- 2 tsp Freshly chopped rosemary
- 4 Cloves of minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tbsp Goya All Purpose Adobo seasoning
- 1 tbsp Onion powder
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Red pepper
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Despite what many critics may say, I personally ALWAYS clean my chicken. I clean mine in a salt & vinegar bath to remove the slimy membrane that's typically on chicken. If you are okay with not washing your chicken, feel free to skip this step.
- Take your chicken and place it on a flat surface or a bowl. Season both sides of the chicken with the Goya Adobo seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper, and lightly finish with salt and pepper to your preference. Set aside.
- Take a small bowl, and whisk together the juice of 5 lemons, olive oil, sage, Italian parsley, rosemary.
- Take a a large resealable plastic bag, add chicken and herbal marinade. Seal bag & press out air. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor results.
- Preheat grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard. Place chicken on grill. Grill until your chicken is done. Remove from heat, and top off with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice on top. Serve and enjoy!
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I like this recipe for chicken. This is a nutritious meal that I can include in my diet. I am aiming for a well-balanced diet because I want to live long for my family. Sometimes I feel guilty for the food that I ate out out cravings. I know that I should eat healthy food to prevent unwanted sickness or illness. Most of the diseases now are because of our eating habits. If we correct or eating habits, we can avoid getting sick in the future.
This sounds so delicious and looks quite easy to prepare, that I am very keen to try it out when we next fire up our BBQ. The operation of the BBQ is the domain of my partner (he regards the BBQ as a ‘man’s territory’!) so I will bookmark this so he can read up on how best to do this, while I make sure we have the ingredients on hand. Looking forward to tasting the outcome.
My husband loves having Chicken. I’m pretty sure he’ll love it your recipe too. I’ll try it for sure.
That is one delicious meal! I love cooking with lemon and garlic. We have grill in the back yard, and we’ll be making this soon!
I always love chicken. and this grilled chicken with garlic lemon sounds so delicious. when I go back to my province, I love to try this with my family. right now, I am living alone in the big city with my cats. can’t go home because of the lockdown. how i wish i can go back and cook and eat delicious foods again. 🙂
Sounds exactly like my kind of chicken. I should start having this for the New Year celebrations.
The dish looks so yummy and delicious. I am fond of chicken though now eating less as I am not going out. I like the lemon garlic touch to it.
your chicken looks fabulous! as does the asparagus. i love grilling asparagus (only way to eat it really).
First of all thank you for sharing such amazing recipe. The finish product looks so delicious and very tempting. Loved the creativity you’ve done into this recipe to use lemon as flavoring to our best main ingredients in the world “chicken”.
Great recipe! It looks amazing, will have to try it out sometime.
I don’t eat meat, but do enjoy alternatives (mock meats, including plant-based chicken) so I will definitely be trying your amazing recipe here using those. Thank you so much for sharing this. I have been craving lemon pepper lately.
Lovely recipe, I don’t eat meat but my husband will love this one. And I will give it a go as I have to cook seperate meals for us.
I love grilled chicken and this one looks delicious. I am definitely trying it.
Really can’t wait till I can get out the bbq and start making food just like this, there’s something special about cooking outdoors 🙂
Would you suggest coal or electric give a better taste?
