Categories     Main

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 tbsp oregano
2 tsp thyme
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients, minus the chicken breast in a mason jar or a bowl.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a dish and pour the marinade over them, turning them in the marinade to ensure that they are completely coated. Cover the dish with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least an hour.
  • Preheat grill to medium high heat, around 450F.
  • Place the chicken on a hot grill and close the lid. After the chicken has cooked for about 5 minutes, lift the lid and turn the chicken breasts over. Close the lid and let the chicken cook some more. The chicken is finished cooking when the meat has an internal temperature of 165F, when checked with a digital thermometer. Grilling boneless skinless chicken breast takes about 12-15 minutes, but can vary depending on the size and thickness of the meat.
  • Remove from the grill and let the chicken breast rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to draw back into the centre of the meat.
  • Serve with tzatziki, greek salad, and rice.

GRILLED SPATCHCOCKED GREEK CHICKEN



Grilled Spatchcocked Greek Chicken image

We're big fans of spatchcocking - that's when the backbone of a chicken is removed and flattened out. The beauty of this extra step is that all parts of the chicken finish cooking at around the same time, so no more dry breast meat!

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds) spatchcocked
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons and zest of 1
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • To spatchcock the chicken, use strong kitchen scissors or poultry shears and cut down either side of the spine. Pull out the spine, turn the chicken over and press down on the breast of the chicken to flatten it out to one thickness.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Put the chicken in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag in a rimmed dish. Pour in half of the marinade, reserving the rest for serving later. Seal the bag and rotate it around to evenly distribute the marinade. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season generously all over with salt and pepper; let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
  • Place the chicken skin-side up on the indirect side of the grill with the legs facing the hotter side. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone) reads 150 to 160 degrees F (almost cooked through), about 50 minutes.
  • Move the chicken over to the direct-heat side of the grill. After 2 minutes, flip the chicken to char and crisp up the skin side, another 3 or 4 minutes. Check that the temperature in the thigh is now at least 165 degrees F. If it is not, then move the chicken back to the indirect side, cover and cook until the final temperature is reached. Remove from the grill; let rest 20 minutes before carving.
  • Stir the scallions and dill into the reserved marinade. Drizzle over the chicken or serve on the side.

GRILLED GREEK CHICKEN



Grilled Greek Chicken image

The secret to this simple grilled chicken is a very powerful marinade and 'roasting' it slowly over semi-indirect heat on the grill.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Greek

Time 4h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cloves garlic (or more to taste), crushed or very finely minced
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup lemon juice
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
6 chicken leg quarters
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Whisk garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, black pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, and vinegar together in a large bowl.
  • Make 2 slashes on the skin side down to the bone in the thigh section and 1 in the leg section of each leg quarter. This will help infuse pieces with marinade and allow faster cooking on the grill. Season both sides of chicken generously with kosher salt. Transfer to bowl with marinade and thoroughly coat all sides. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 4 to 12 hours.
  • Transfer chicken to paper-towel-lined sheet pan to drain slightly.
  • Place leg quarters on grill skin side down over semi-direct heat (avoid intense direct heat so chicken cooks evenly and skin doesn't burn). Cook 6 or 7 minutes. Turn chicken and cook another 6 to 7 minutes. Continue cooking and turning until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 8 to 10 more minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
