barbecue is always a crowd-pleaser, and charcoal-grilled chicken is no exception! Here’s how you can make this delicious dish at home.
First, prepare your ingredients: fresh chicken pieces, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and fresh lemon juice. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for at least an hour—or overnight if you have time. This will infuse the meat with incredible taste!
When ready to cook, preheat your grill using natural charcoal. Once hot, place the marinated chicken on the grill over medium heat. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking. The key is to achieve that perfect golden-brown crust while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
For added smoky goodness, consider adding wood chips like hickory or applewood to the charcoal. This will give your chicken an aromatic finish. Serve your charcoal-grilled chicken with a side of grilled veggies or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Enjoy the flavors of summer with every bite! 🥗✨
