The Best Way to grill chicken
Hey there! Want to make amazing grilled chicken? Here's how to do it in simple steps:
- Start with boneless, skinless chicken breasts (they're easiest to work with)
- Put the chicken in a ziplock bag and pound it until it's the same thickness everywhere (about ¾ inch)
- Make it tasty: Mix ¼ cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper
- Pour the mixture over the chicken and let it sit for 30 minutes (but not more than 4 hours)
- Heat your grill to medium-high (around 375-450°F)
- Grill each side for 5-7 minutes
- Check that the internal temperature hits 165°F using a meat thermometer
Pro Tip:
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after grilling - this keeps all the juices inside!
