For the Marinade 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon) 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness) 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon dried rosemary 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for a bit of heat Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for extra citrus flavor) Instructions: Prepare the Marinade 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined. 2. Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). 3. Whisk until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Marinate the Chicken 1. Place your chicken pieces (breasts, thighs, or drumsticks) in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. 2. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. If using a bag, seal it and massage the marinade into the chicken. If using a dish, cover it with plastic wrap. 3. Refrigerate and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-4 hours. For deeper flavor, you can marinate it overnight. Cook the Chicken Grilling Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Grill the chicken according to the instructions provided earlier, adjusting times based on the cut. Baking Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the marinated chicken in a baking dish and bake as per the instructions provided earlier, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Roasting Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Roast the chicken in a lined baking sheet or roasting pan, turning halfway through, until golden brown and fully cooked. Serve: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more tender and flavorful. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or rice.
