Tip: This chicken is also delicious with mashed potatoes. Mom served the thick, tangy sauce that coats this tender chicken as a gravy over rice or mashed potatoes. It makes a welcome centerpiece for any meal. -Donna Sasser Hinds, Milwaukie, Oregon

Tips:

  • Chicken Selection: Opt for air-chilled or free-range chicken for better flavor and texture.
  • Flavorful Marinade: Enhance the chicken's taste with a flavorful marinade. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and citrus juices for a well-rounded flavor profile.
  • Thorough Marinating: Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This helps the flavors penetrate deeply into the chicken.
  • Golden Crust: Brush the chicken with melted butter or olive oil before grilling. This helps create a golden and crispy crust.
  • Cook to Perfection: Cook the chicken over medium heat, allowing it to cook evenly on both sides. Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal temperature (165°F for chicken).
  • Resting Time: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and juicy chicken.
