Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 whole chicken (3 to 4 pounds), quartered, rinsed, and patted dry
Summer Bread Salad

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds.)
  • Combine salt and pepper. Rub chicken with mixture, covering all sides and shaking off excess. (You may not need all of the mixture.) Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • Place chicken on grill, skin side down. Close cover, and grill 8 minutes. Flip chicken, and close cover. Grill until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes more.
  • Transfer chicken to a plate, and let rest 15 minutes. Serve with bread salad.

I'm not a big fan of grilled chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the salt and pepper rub was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to get a flavorful grilled chicken without a lot of fuss. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they turned out perfectly cooked. The salt and pepper rub was simple but effective.
