Marinade

Chicken

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist chicken.
