Method
 

Lemon Herb Grilled Chicken
  1. In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove from grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken
  1. Combine honey, soy sauce, sriracha, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a medium bowl.
  2. Add chicken thighs to the marinade, coating them entirely, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium heat and clean and oil the grill grates.
  4. Grill chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Rest the chicken for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Mediterranean Grilled Chicken
  1. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, chopped mint, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken tenderloins to the yogurt marinade, ensuring they are well coated, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium heat and prepare the grates with a light brush of oil.
  4. Grill the chicken tenderloins for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh dill or mint if desired.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes, or longer if time permits. Adjust spice levels in the Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken to your preference. Always ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
