How to Grill a Delicious Chicken

The Perfect Marinade

Grilling a delicious chicken needs to start with the right marinade. The perfect marinade for chicken is a combination of oil, lemon juice, and herbs. Start with a base of 1/4 cup of oil and 1/4 cup of lemon juice, then add your favorite herbs. Popular herbs for grilling chicken include rosemary, thyme, oregano, and basil. Mix the marinade ingredients together and set aside.

Preparing the Chicken

Once you have your marinade prepared, it is time to prepare the chicken. Start by patting the chicken down with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This will help the marinade to stick to the chicken and make sure it is evenly distributed. Place the chicken into a bowl and pour the marinade over the chicken. Make sure the marinade covers all of the chicken pieces. Let the chicken sit in the marinade for at least an hour.

Grilling the Chicken

Once the chicken has marinated for at least an hour, it is time to start grilling. Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side. Be sure to turn the chicken to ensure that both sides are evenly cooked. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serving the Chicken

Grilled chicken is a great meal to serve with a variety of sides. Popular sides to serve with grilled chicken include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a fresh salad. For a more traditional Indonesian meal, serve the chicken with steamed white rice and sambal. Enjoy your delicious grilled chicken!

Conclusion

Grilling a delicious chicken is easy if you follow these steps. Start by creating the perfect marinade, then prepare the chicken and grill it to perfection. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides for a delicious meal. Enjoy!
