Time 12h25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

Juice of 1 lemon (approximately 3 tablespoons)
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 2 medium cloves)
1 teaspoon salt (I use coarse, kosher salt)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 to 2 pounds chicken breasts (see note)

Steps:

Whisk together all the marinade ingredients.
Place chicken in a ziploc bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over chicken, tossing to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but up to 18 hours.
Preheat grill to medium- or medium-high (I use about 375 degrees on my pellet grill) and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until an instant read thermometer registers 165 degrees at the thickest part of the chicken. (The chicken can also be cooked in a skillet on the stove or broiled in the oven.)

Categories Lunch, Main course, Starter

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

12 chicken wings
2 garlic cloves , crushed
zest and juice 1 lemon
1 tsp cumin seed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey

Steps:

Using a pair of sharp kitchen scissors, cut each wing at the knuckle into two pieces. Mix the garlic, lemon zest and juice, cumin and oil with plenty of seasoning, then tip into a dish with the chicken wings and toss to coat. Cover and put in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hr, or overnight if you have time.
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, or heat an outdoor barbecue. Bake the chicken wings on an oven tray for 45-50 mins until crisp, or barbecue for 20 mins, drizzling over the honey for the final 10 mins of each method. Serve on a platter with plenty of paper napkins. Fill small bowls with olives, pistachios or almonds, dates and pickled chillies and flatbreads to serve alongside, along with the dishes below.

Tips:

To tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor, marinate it in a mixture of cumin, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness before marinating.
To prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill, grease the grates with cooking spray or oil before grilling.
Cook the chicken over medium heat, turning it once or twice, until it is cooked through and slightly charred. This should take about 10-12 minutes per side for chicken breasts and 12-15 minutes per side for chicken thighs.
Serve the grilled chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or salad.

Conclusion:

This grilled chicken marinated in cumin, lemon, and garlic is a delicious and healthy weeknight meal. The marinade infuses the chicken with flavor, making it moist and tender. The chicken can be grilled, roasted, or pan-fried, making it a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
