Gorgeous Grilled Chicken - I've probably mentioned it here before, but I'm kind of squeamish about eating meat off a bone. I don't know what's wrong with me, but something about it has just never worked for me. I know I'm probably going to get hate mail saying that it's my inner vegetarian screaming at me and that I should listen, but whatever, I'm over it. My husband on the other hand as well as my girls love chicken wings, ribs, drumsticks and basically anything else that is bone-bearing. Go figure.
Making Gorgeous Grilled Chicken
But sometimes I make it for them and I actually like it. Enter this this Gorgeous Grilled Chicken. We've made this a few times and each time it's a hit with everybody. Plus, it's just pretty lookin'. This last time I was only able to marinade them for about an hour and they weren't as flavorful, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time for them to soak up the goodness. BUT don't let them marinade for more than 4 hours or so because the lemon juice in the marinade will actually start to cook the chicken and will give it a funky texture in the end. I used all drumsticks here, but any cut of chicken will work well. Just remember that dark meat takes longer to cook than white so keep an eye on them and remove from the heat when the juices from them run clear and not cloudy when pierced.
This grilled chicken would be prefect for any tail gating and end-of-summer bashes you have coming up!

Grilling chicken adds a smoky char that enhances the flavor and texture compared to other cooking methods like baking or sautéing. It's also a great option during warmer months, allowing you to cook outdoors while keeping your kitchen free from lingering odors. Click here and read full Grilled chicken recipe.

Grilled chicken typically provides a nice char, which gives the poultry more flavor and texture compared to baking or sauteing. It's especially nice during the warmer months because you get some fresh air — and the technique prevents the house from being overwhelmed with cooking odors.
