Felicitys Garlicky Grilled Chicken Recipes

GRILLED HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic and lemon. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce and add the rest of the sauce to the chicken in a medium sized bowl and let marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to medium high heat and Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Baste occasionally with reserved marinade during the last 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

GRILLED LEMON-GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, pepper, and salt in a large, gallon-sized, zip-top bag. Seal and shake well. Add chicken and shake again. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the chicken on the grill over indirect heat, baste with marinade, and cover. Grill for 10 minutes. Baste again, then turn over and baste the other side. Cover and continue to grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 10 minutes more.

GRILLED GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces in 1 or 2 large re-sealable plastic bags and add the rest of the ingredients. Seal the bag and shake to mix. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Heat grill to medium heat, or until the coals are lightly covered with ash. Oil the grill.
• Cook the chicken, skin side up, for 20 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted reaches 155 degrees and the chicken is fork-tender and the juices run clear when a thigh is pricked with a fork. (It should measure 180 degrees F on an instant read thermometer). Alternately, roast the chicken in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Serve 1 bird hot and reserve the other for Days 2 and 3.
• Brush the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place everything on the grill over medium heat and cook, turning frequently, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until fork tender. Serve hot, reserving 1/3 of the vegetables for Day 2 and two ears of corn for Day 3.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Garlic Butter:.
• Mash butter, garlic, pepper and lemon juice together in small bowl. Butter should be of uniform texture and slightly coarse. Don not over mix to completely smooth texture or it will take too long to firm up.
• Place softened butter on a piece of plastic wrap and form into log, using plastic to form casing. Place butter in freezer to firm up until just before serving the meal. Butter will firm up faster if you place it directly on the freezer shelf.
• At last minute, remove plastic wrap and slice log into 8 pieces.
• Chicken:.
• Coat chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper in bowl.
• Grill, broil or pan-grill chicken 4 to 6 minutes on each side.
• Top with 1 to 2 slices of garlic butter. Serve immediately.

FELICITY'S GARLICKY GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Trim chicken as desired, cut a couple of diagonal slashes in each piece and set aside.
• Add all other ingredients, except oil and butter to food processor and blend to a paste.
• With motor running, drizzle in oil until the mixture is a pale green.
• I used about ¼ cup, but this can vary to taste.
• Cover the chicken with marinade and refrigerate for as long as possible, 3-24 hours.
• Melt butter in pan (if using) and turn the heat down.
• Place chicken breasts in pan with all the marinade and cover.
• The meat I used was very thick, but if your chicken breasts are thinner it may be possible to skip this step and just fry or grill more quickly over a higher heat.
• After about 10 minutes the steam has helped cooked through the chicken.
• Remove lid, increase heat (med-high) and brown chicken on both sides.
• I served this with a side of steamed spinach and “Felicity’s Stuffed Red Peppers”, also here on ‘Zaar.
• I had some leftovers, cold for lunch, and they were delicious, the garlic flavour had intensified& the meat was moist.
