Grilled Chicken Legs With Lemon And Pepper Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, red bell pepper, salt, and pepper. Set aside 1/4 cup of the mixture to use for basting. Place chicken in the bowl, and marinate at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Drain and discard marinade from the bowl, and place chicken on the grill. Cook 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until juices run clear, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.

Steps:

• Arrange chicken in shallow bowl or baking dish.
• Whisk together remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Place chicken on grill until browned on all sides (about 10 minutes) turning once or twice.
• If using gas grill reduce heat to low and cook 20 minutes (check for doneness,continue cooking until chicken is no longer pink,if needed) If using charcoal,move chicken to edges of grill,cover and cook over indirect heat,check for doneness at 20 minutes,continue cooking if needed.

Steps:

• Prepare an outdoor grill for medium heat.
• Whisk the oil, oregano, lemon zest and juice and garlic in a large bowl. Add the chicken, toss to coat and set aside for 10 minutes at room temperature.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Lightly oil the grill grates and grill the chicken, skin-side down, until lightly charred, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Cover the grill and cook until no longer pink near the bone and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the deepest part of each chicken thigh reads 165 degrees F, about 5 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a green salad.

Steps:

• Put the chicken legs in a large resealable bag, squeeze in the juice of the lemons and throw in the rinds as well. Add the olive oil, garlic and some salt and pepper, seal the bag and toss around. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place the chicken legs on a baking sheet and roast until the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken all over with salt and 1 1/2 tsp. pepper. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium heat and brush grate with oil. Thinly slice lemon half into rounds. Heat butter and honey in a small saucepan until butter is melted and foaming, then remove from heat and add lemon slices.
• Grill chicken, skin side down, until skin is lightly charred and releases from grate without tearing, about 6 minutes. Turn chicken over and lightly brush with lemon butter. Cover grill and continue grilling chicken, brushing with lemon butter every 5 minutes or so, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 150°F, 25-28 minutes.
• Just before chicken is ready, cut remaining lemon into quarters and grill, cut side down, until charred and softened, 6-8 minutes. Transfer chicken and lemons to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes before carving chicken into pieces.
• To serve, squeeze grilled lemons over chicken and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper.

Steps:

• Reserve 1 Tbsp. each aioli and harissa paste, and 1 tsp. cumin for later use.
• Mix remaining aioli, harissa paste and cumin with sugar and Worcestershire sauce until blended; spread over chicken in shallow dish.
• Refrigerate 30 min. Meanwhile, mix sour cream and lemon juice with reserved aioli mixture; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Heat greased grill for indirect grilling: Light one side of grill, leaving other side unlit. Close lid; heat grill to 350°F.
• Place chicken, top sides down, on grate over lit area of grill; cover. Grill 5 min. Turn chicken; place over unlit area. Grill, covered, 40 min. or until chicken is done (165°F), monitoring for consistent grill temperature.
• Transfer chicken to cutting board; cut in half. Serve with the reserved aioli mixture.

Steps:

• Grate 1/2 teaspoon of zest from 1 orange into a large mixing bowl.
• Squeeze in 1/3 cup of orange juice. Stir in the lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the garlic, rosemary, and 1/4 cup of the oil.
• Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing. Add the chicken to the bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat grill to medium. Place the chicken, skin-side up, over indirect heat and cook, covered, for 35 minutes.
• Turn the chicken and cook, uncovered, over direct heat, until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the onion with the remaining oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill until tender, 8 minutes.
• Peel the remaining orange and slice into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Combine them with the onion, lettuce, and reserved dressing in a bowl.
• Transfer to individual plates. Serve with the chicken.

Steps:

• Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels. Stir together the lemon juice, soy sauce, ginger, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts, seal the bag, and massage to evenly coat chicken with lemon juice mixture. Place in refrigerator to marinate at least 20 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grate, and place about 4 inches from heat source.
• Drain and discard marinade from the bag, and place chicken on preheated grill. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Whisk together lemon juice, oregano, garlic, 1/2 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and add oil in a slow stream, whisking.
• Discard excess fat from chicken and season with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
• To cook chicken using a charcoal grill:
• Open vents on bottom of grill and on lid. Light a large chimney starter of charcoal briquettes (80 to 100) and pour them evenly over 1 side of bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of briquettes).
• When charcoal turns grayish white (15 to 20 minutes) and you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear chicken legs in 3 batches on lightly oiled grill rack over coals, uncovered, turning once, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes total, then transfer as cooked to a tray.
• Put all browned legs on side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning occasionally, until just cooked through (flesh will no longer be pink when cut near joint), 15 to 25 minutes more. Transfer legs to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to a serving platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil, while cooking breasts.
• Add 15 briquettes evenly to coals and wait until they just light, about 5 minutes. (They will not be grayish white yet but will give off enough heat with other briquettes to maintain correct cooking temperature.)
• Sear chicken breasts, starting with skin sides down, in 2 batches on rack over coals, uncovered, turning once, until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes total, then transfer as cooked to tray.
• Put all browned chicken breasts on side of grill with no coals underneath and cook, covered with lid, turning occasionally, until just cooked through (the meat next to the tender, when opened slightly, will be moist but no longer pink), 12 to 15 minutes more. Transfer breasts to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to platter with legs.
• Grill lemon slices on rack over coals, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes on each side, and transfer to platter with chicken.
• To cook chicken using a gas grill:
• Preheat all burners on high, then adjust heat to moderately high. Turn off 1 burner and arrange chicken legs on lightly oiled rack above it. Cook, covered with lid, turning legs once, until cooked through, about 40 minutes total. Transfer legs to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to a serving platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil, while cooking breasts.
• Cook chicken breasts on rack above unlit burner, covered with lid, turning once, until just cooked through (the meat next to the tender, when opened slightly, will be moist but no longer pink), about 30 minutes total. Transfer breasts to bowl with lemon dressing and turn to coat, then transfer to platter with legs.
• Grill lemon slices on rack over flames, uncovered, until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes on each side, and transfer to platter with chicken.
