Marinade and Chicken

Method

Grilling Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Prepare your wood-fired grill according to the manufacturer's instructions and preheat to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

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

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
