GRILLED ROSEMARY LEMON CHICKEN BREASTS

  • You can also use wings, thighs, or legs for this recipe. For wings, I marinated four hours and doubled the seasonings so they would be extra flavorful.
  • The time can vary widely depending on the grill and thickness of the chicken pieces. Dark meat takes slightly longer as well.
  • Also, you can cook this chicken in the oven. (See below)
  • Likewise, you can air fry. (See below)
  • The best way to know when meat is cooked properly is to test the thickest portion with an instant-read thermometer.
  • As well, the longer you can let the chicken marinate, the better flavor it’ll have.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CHICKEN IS COOKED

The perfect internal temperature is 165°f for dark meat and 160°F for white. I recommend getting an instant-read thermometer. As well, when you’re checking the chicken, always check the thickest part of the chicken. (Here’s a chart for Safe Cooking Temperatures for all meats.)

If you don’t have an instant-read thermometer, you can cut into the middle to check that it’s just about opaque in the center and the juices run clear.

HOW TO AIR FRY GRILLED ROSEMARY LEMON CHICKEN BREASTS

To air fry, remove the chicken from the marinade and drain. Place the chicken in the air fryer and cook at 400°F for 20 minutes or until the chicken is opaque in the center and the juices run clear.

HOW TO BAKE GRILLED ROSEMARY LEMON CHICKEN BREASTS

To cook in the oven, heat the oven to 375°F and cook for approximately 30 minutes uncovered in a shallow pan.

Whether your grilling, baking or air-frying chicken, how long really depends on how big the chicken pieces are. Larger bone-in chicken will take longer than boneless chicken.

LEFTOVER CHICKEN

I always make extra chicken when I’m cooking especially if I’m grilling. Grilled chicken is great in my Avocado Chicken Salad and Loaded Keto Avocado Bacon Chicken Salad. However, leftover chicken is also good on pasta, pasta salad, wraps, green salads, sandwiches, and soup.
