How to Make Amy's Favorite Lemon And Rosemary Chicken

  1. In a resealable bag, combine the chicken pieces, lemon juice, olive oil, rosemary sprigs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Seal the bag tightly and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve marinade).
  5. Grill the chicken for 10-12 minutes per side, or bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
  6. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, baste the chicken with the reserved marinade for extra flavor and browning.
  7. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
