• If you're using chicken breasts, pound lightly with a rolling pin to make them even in size.
• Place marinade on chicken. Let soak for 15-30 minutes.
• Preheat grill or griddle to medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill and grill chicken on both sides until done in the middle. Serve warm or room temperature.
• This chicken goes great on salad!

THE BEST GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• thickest part of the chicken breast into uniform thickness aiming for 3/4 inch thick and if very large, cut into uniform sizes roughly 5-6 ounces each.
• Mix marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons (for garnish). Place chicken and marinade in a bowl, baking dish or large zip lock bag and massage to coat all sides well. Marinate for 30 minutes, a few hours, overnight or even a few days.
• Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. (See notes for chicken thighs.) Lift chicken breasts out of the bowl, letting most of the oil drip off -before carefully placing it on the grill. Cut the zested lemons in half, placing open sides down on the grill too. Feel free to add any veggies to the grill- here we added halved tomatoes. Close the grill lid and cook for 5-6 minutes (or until deep golden grill marks appear) before flipping. Cook the other side, 5-7 minutes, and lower heat or move to a cooler spot until the thickest part of the breast registers at 160F and meat is no longer pink, and the meat looks opaque. Let it rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Place the grilled chicken on a serving platter, squeeze generously with the grilled lemon, and tuck in fresh herbs for garnish. Spoon the reserved 2 tablespoons marinade over the chicken, and serve! (NOTE: DO not use the "used marinade" that the raw chicken was in for this!).

DELICIOUS GRILLED CHICKEN LIVERS WITH HERBS AND LEMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the chicken livers in a colander and rinse them under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels. Cut the livers in half between the two lobes. Trim any white tissue, veins, and dark spots from the livers. Discard these.
• Zest a lemon, enough for 1/2 teaspoon into a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice from the zested lemon, oregano, basil, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
• Add the chicken liver pieces to the bowl and coat completely with the marinade. Set the bowl aside for 15 minutes, or even longer.
• Preheat your Foreman Contact Grill on high for 5 minutes with the top closed. Place the drip tray at the base of the grill.
• Place the livers in a single layer on the grill and close the top. Grill for 3 minutes. Open the grill and flip the livers over. Close the top and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a digital meat thermometer. Repeat the process if your grill is too small to fit the livers in a single layer. You can also grill the livers on wood or metal skewers for a tidy presentation.
• Serve the chicken livers with wedges of lemon.

LEMON AND HERB MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine the lemon juice and zest, chopped herbs, garlic, crushed red pepper, and 1/2 cup of olive oil. Whisk to combine.
• Place the chicken thighs in a wide flat dish so they are in a single layer. Add the herb mixture. Massage the thighs to coat with the herb mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Note: If doing a quick marinade, leave the chicken out of the fridge for up to 1 hour.
• Preheat grill. Brush and oil the grill to clean.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and brush off any excess herbs and oil. Season the chicken generously with salt and drizzle with a little bit of fresh olive oil.
• Cut the 2 whole lemons in half and cut the tips off the ends; this will allow the lemons to stand up without rolling around. Place the chicken, skin side down, on the preheated grill. Place the lemons, flesh side down, on the preheated grill. Grill the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes and then rotate the chicken 90 degrees to create the lovely crosshatch pattern. Grill the chicken for another 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. Check for doneness (the chicken should be well cooked). Check the lemon halves to see if they are beautifully caramelized. Turn over to grill on the bottom for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve the chicken with grilled lemon.
• Call yourself a superstar!
