This Mediterranean-inspired grilled chicken recipe combines aromatic herbs and a zesty marinade for a flavorful and juicy dish.
Prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, sage, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Coat the chicken thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring it is evenly covered.
Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for doneness.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
