Grilled Lemon Rosemary Chicken is a flavorful and succulent dish that combines the zesty brightness of lemon with the aromatic allure of rosemary. This enticing entrée is perfect for a summer cookout or a cozy dinner party. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper, allowing the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat. Once grilled to perfection, the chicken emerges with a beautiful golden-brown crust, tender and juicy on the inside. Accompanying this delectable main course are three tantalizing recipes that elevate the dining experience. Garlic-Herb Butter adds a luscious touch to the chicken, while Grilled Lemon Wedges provide a refreshing and tangy complement. Finally, a simple yet elegant Arugula Salad with Lemon-Tahini Dressing rounds out the meal with its peppery arugula, toasted walnuts, and a zesty lemon-tahini dressing. These recipes come together to create a harmonious and unforgettable culinary journey.
