Sicilian Chicken Platter Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

2. 2

   Marinate the Chicken

   Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.

3. 3

   Grill the Chicken

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F.

4. 4

   Smoked Option

   If smoking, preheat your smoker to 225°F. Place the marinated chicken thighs in the smoker and smoke for approximately 1.5-2 hours, or until cooked through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the chicken from the grill or smoker. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm on a platter.
