Chicken with Lemon and Oregano

Ingredients 0/7

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade into a resealable plastic bag, add the chicken, and toss to coat it well. Press out as much air as you can before sealing the bag, then pop it in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you have the time.

Step 2

When you’re ready to cook, heat up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick brush with oil to keep the chicken from sticking. Take the chicken out of the marinade and let any extra drip off—don’t use the leftover marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook it for about 5 minutes on each side. You’re looking for the meat to be cooked through, with no pink inside and clear juices running. If you have a meat thermometer, it should read 165°F in the thickest part. Once done, take it off the grill and let it rest a few minutes before serving.
