About
The secret to this delicious Grilled Lemon Chicken is the marinade that keeps the chicken flavorful and juicy. Bright, herbaceous, and uplifting, that marinade infuses the chicken with flavors that pair wonderfully with its natural savoriness. Grilled Lemon Chicken is impossibly juicy and tender, which will make it a hit at the next barbeque. Serve it as part of an amazing sandwich or eat it on its own paired with fresh greens!
