Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp minced garlic ((3 cloves))
2 tsp minced fresh rosemary ((or 3/4 tsp dried))
2 tsp minced fresh thyme ((or 3/4 tsp dried))
2 tsp dijon mustard

1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley, (optional)

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a gallon size resealable bag (or you can use a bowl).
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour marinade over chicken in bag (or bowl). Seal bag while pressing out excess air.
  • Rub marinade over chicken (I also like to twist and tie top of bag so marinade fully covers the chicken).
  • Let marinade in fridge for 2 to 8 hours for breasts and 2 to 24 hours for thighs.
  • Heat over medium-high heat to 400 degrees. Partway through heating don't forget to clean and oil grill grates (with a little vegetable oil or olive oil using tongs and a balled up paper towel).
  • Remove chicken from marinade while shaking excess marinade off back into bag. Transfer to grill and cook covered about 5 to 8 minutes per side.
  • Cook time varies based on thickness, check internal temperature of chicken in thickest portion to 165 degrees for doneness.
  • Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Tips:

- Utilize quality cuts of chicken: Select skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs to guarantee a juicy and tender end result. - For a more flavorful experience, utilize chicken that has been raised on a free-range or organic diet. These chickens tend to have superior flavor and texture. - Prior to cooking, ensure the chicken is at room temperature. This helps in achieving uniform cooking throughout the meat. - Opt for a thick and flavorful balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar serves as the foundation of the sauce, so select one with a rich, concentrated taste. Premium brands or aged balsamic vinegar offer exceptional depth of flavor. - For a smokier flavor, use a homemade barbecue sauce: Preparing your barbecue sauce from scratch allows for customization of the smokiness level. Adjust the measurements of smoked paprika or chipotle chili powder to achieve your desired level of smokiness. - Cook the chicken thoroughly: Utilize a meat thermometer to verify that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C). This guarantees the chicken is cooked safely and optimally.
