Grilled Bone In Chicken Breasts Recipes

GRILLED BONE-IN CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Thoroughly pat the chicken dry.
• Sprinkle the chicken pieces with the salt, taking care to work some under the skin.
• Cover and chill at least two hours and up to overnight.
• Let the chicken come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.
• Prepare a gas grill for indirect heat. Turn all burners on high and close the lid. When the temperature inside the grill reaches 400 F, turn off one burner. The area over the turned-off burner is the indirect heat section.​
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil.
• Set the chicken skin-side down on the indirect heat section of the grill. Close the lid on a gas grill and cook for 15 minutes.
• Turn the chicken over (still on the indirect side), close the lid on the gas grill, and cook 10 minutes.
• Move chicken to the direct heat section and cook, turning once, until skin is brown and crispy-about five minutes. (Pay close attention: any dripping fat or added oils or marinades catch fire easily . You may want to keep a spray bottle of water nearby to douse flames.)
• Test the chicken with an instant-read thermometer or by cutting into ​its center. It should reach 165 F and be slightly pink; it will finish cooking while it rests. If the center is very pink, return it to indirect heat and cook for five more minutes.
• Let the chicken rest at least 10 minutes, lightly tented with foil, before serving.
• Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Enjoy!

GRILLED BONE-IN CHICKEN BREAST WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Place garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add cilantro, parsley, oregano, and salt; pulse until finely chopped. Drizzle in oil, vinegar, and lime juice slowly, while the blade is spinning. Process for about 1 minute. Cover with a lid and store chimichurri in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Rub chicken breasts on all sides with herb rub.
• Turn the middle burners to low on the preheated grill and place chicken, skin-side down, over those burners. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the middle burners off and flip chicken. Close lid and cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Serve chicken with chimichurri.
