Grill the chicken for approximately 15-20 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding the bone. The chicken should be nicely browned and the juices should run clear when pierced with a fork. (30-40 minutes total)
06 Step

7 mins
Remove the grilled chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat. (5-10 minutes)
For best results, marinate the chicken overnight. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful and tender it will be.
If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon each, as dried herbs are more potent.
To prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill, make sure the grates are clean and well-oiled.
Serve with a side of Greek salad, roasted vegetables, or couscous for a complete and satisfying meal.
For oven baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place marinated chicken in a baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until cooked through.
