Instructions
Creating Perfect Calabrian Chili Grilled Chicken is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for remarkable results:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine Calabrian chili paste, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a zip-lock bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
3. Preheat the Grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken breasts on the hot grill.
5. Cook: Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite.
7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the grilled chicken with fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.
By following these clear steps, you will create a dish that’s both remarkable and satisfying.
