Grilled Chicken Breasts or Quarters with Lemon & Thyme
May 29, 2023 • 0 comments
A bold mixture of red-pepper flakes, garlic, thyme, lemon juice, and olive oil serves as a spicy marinade for bone-in chicken breasts. If you want your chicken spicier still, increase the red pepper or leave the breasts in the marinade for an hour or two. Use recipe for either Chicken Breasts or Chicken Leg Quarters!

Step 1 – Light the grill or heat the broiler in your oven. In a shallow dish, combine lemon juice and remaining ingredients. Coat the chicken with the mixture.
