Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 c. soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. dijon mustard
1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
4 lb. bone-in chicken pieces, such as drumsticks, thighs, or leg quarters
1 c. marinade
Oil, as needed

Steps:

  • For the marinade: Combine the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, lemon juice, dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a pint-sized mason jar. Cover and shake well to combine. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days before use.
  • For the grilled chicken: Place the chicken in a zip-up gallon bag. Add all of the marinade, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
  • Meanwhile, pre-heat one side of the grill to medium heat, around 350°, and leave the other side unlit. Oil the grill grates well.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade. Place the chicken skin-side down over the lit side of the grill. Cover and cook until grill marks appear and the chicken easily releases, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Flip the chicken and transfer it to the unlit side of the grill. Cover and cook until the internal temperature reads 165˚, 35 to 45 minutes more (depending on the size of your chicken pieces). Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve immediately.

Easy Grilled Chicken With Citrus Marinade image

This easy grilled chicken recipe is a fast track to dinner. This grilled chicken breast is never dry, thanks to a marinade that's sourced from the pantry.

Provided by Kendra Vaculin

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large shallots, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
¼ cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1½ lb.)

Steps:

  • Whisk 2 large shallots, finely chopped, 4 garlic cloves, finely grated, ⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil, ¼ cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar, 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice, 1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt, 1 tsp. sugar, and ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper in a medium bowl to combine. Set ⅓ cup marinade aside.
  • Arrange 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1½ lb.) in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour remaining marinade over chicken and turn to coat. Cover dish and chill, turning chicken halfway through, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip back into dish; discard marinade in dish. Grill chicken, turning halfway through, until cooked through and blackened grill marks appear, 10-14 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve chicken with reserved marinade spooned over.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade to infuse the chicken with delicious taste. The recipe suggests a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken without making it tough.
  • When grilling the chicken, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • To prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill, lightly grease the grates with oil before cooking.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken in a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Fast Grilled Chicken Breast Marinade is a delicious and easy way to cook chicken. The marinade infuses the chicken with flavor, and the grilling process creates a crispy, juicy chicken breast that is perfect for a summer cookout. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
