Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, flipping only once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your Grilled Crazy Chicken with your favorite side dishes!
