→ Chicken and Finishes
10 -
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
11 -
Extra Parmesan cheese, for serving
12 -
700–900 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
# Steps:
01 -
After you pull the chicken off the grill, park it on a plate for about 5 minutes. Right before you dig in, shower on fresh parsley and a little more Parmesan.
02 -
While the chicken’s still grilling, toss on extra Parmesan with a couple minutes left. Let it get melty and gooey.
03 -
Lift the chicken from the marinade and drop it onto the hot grill. Grill each side for 5–7 minutes. Make sure the inside hits 75°C and the juices are clear.
04 -
Get the grill hot—aim for 200–220°C. Give the grates a light oil so nothing sticks.
05 -
Tuck your chicken into the marinade, making sure it’s fully coated. Pop a lid on and chill it for at least 30 minutes—or even a few hours for tons more flavor.
06 -
In a bowl, toss together the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, Parmesan, pepper, salt, smoked paprika, Italian herbs, and garlic. Give it all a good stir until it’s well mixed.
# Notes:
01 -
No grill? No worries—just use a skillet on medium or toss everything in the oven at 200°C for 20–25 minutes.
02 -
For tender chicken, go for thighs. Want something lighter? Pick the breasts.
03 -
Try serving with roasted veggies, a crunchy salad, or some pasta.
