Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 fresh lemons (juiced)
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place chicken in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat Cooking Surface: Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
