How to make
Broiled Lemon Chicken
Broiled Lemon Chicken
- Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl.
- Slice the chicken breasts in half the short way. Toss all the chicken pieces in the lemon marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil. Preheat the broiler. Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade.
- Place the chicken pieces skin side down on the prepared pan and broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat source, turning once, for 20 minutes.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, turn the pieces, and continue broiling until the marinade has thickened to a glaze and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh without touching bone registers 165°F (our preference) or 180°F (the USDA recommendation), basting several times with the marinade in the pan and turning once or twice more, 3 to 6 more minutes. Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
- Variations: Substitute parsley for the rosemary and thyme for the oregano. Add 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper fl akes to the marinade before adding the chicken.
- For a sweet-and-sour version, whisk 1 tablespoon sugar or 2 teaspoons light corn syrup into the marinade before adding the chicken.
- For a healthier dish, use skinless chicken parts. Reduce the cooking time by 4 minutes under the broiler before pouring the marinade over the pieces.
