Cooking

Grill the Chicken

Place the marinated chicken on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 20-25 minutes, flipping once until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Char the Lemon

During the last few minutes of grilling, place the lemon halves cut-side down on the grill to char them lightly.

Salmoriglio Sauce

Make the Sauce

In a bowl, combine chopped parsley, oregano, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

Serving

Plate the Dish

Serve the grilled chicken with a generous drizzle of salmoriglio sauce and the charred lemon on the side for squeezing over the chicken.
