–RECIPE–
“ITALIAN” MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS (makes about 4 chicken breasts)
▪2lb/1kg boneless skinless chicken breasts
▪15g or ¼-1/2c chopped fresh parsley
▪3g or about 2-3Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
▪15g (5-6 large cloves garlic), minced
▪1 lemon (zest and juice)
▪100g or 1/2c olive oil
▪3g or 3tsp dried oregano
▪4g or 2tsp black pepper
▪2g or 1-2tsp chile flake
▪15g or 3/4Tbsp salt
▪5g or 1 1/4gsp sugar
▪High smoke point oil to season grill (canola, vegetable, soy)
Pound each breast until it’s about 3/4in/2cm thick. To keep things tidy, i put the meat inside a freezer bag and pound it with a heavy sauce pot.
To make the marinade, combine parsley, thyme, garlic, zest of 1 lemon, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, chile flake, 15g salt, and 5g sugar. Add chicken and mix to be sure marinate is stuck to chicken. Marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
To cook 4 chicken breasts, I preheat all burners on high, then before grilling set 2 burners to high and a 3rd burner on low, brush grates if needed, and oil the grates with high smokepoint oil.
When grill temp is 450-500F/230-260C, remove chicken from marinade and place over the burners set to high heat. Lower the grill and allow to cook on high heat for 4-5 minutes – no turning or pressing meat during this time. At this point, the grill facing side should have nice dark (not burnt) grill marks. Flip to side two then move chicken to the low side of the grill to allow to finish cooking. When done, temp should read about 150F/65C. Finish with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice to serve.

▪3g or 1.5tsp black pepper
▪3g or 1tsp garlic powder
▪3g or 1 1/4tsp onion powder
▪10g or 1 3/4tsp salt
Combine chili powder, pepper, garlic & onion powders, and salt and add in drummies. Toss to coat. Allow to brine in fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat all grill burners to high, brush grates if needed, and oil grates well with high-smokepoint oil. Set 2 burners to medium/medium-high and a 3rd to high.
Place drumsticks over the medium-high heat side, lower grill lid, and cook for 6-8 minutes. Flip to side two, close lid, and check back in 6-8 mins. Skin should have tightened nicely. Brush drummies on both sides with sauce. Lower grill lid and cook for 2 more minutes to reduce sauce.
