Lemon Ginger Soy Marinated Grilled Chicken
A zesty and flavorful grilled chicken recipe, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken in a sealable bag or a bowl and pour the marinade over the top. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, then marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 12 hours for more flavor.
- When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). This should take about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
- Serve the grilled chicken warm and enjoy!
Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
