How to Make Easy Barbecued Lemon Garlic Chicken

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste).
  2. Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
  4. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 6 hours for a deeper flavor.
  5. Preheat your grill to high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  6. Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. This ensures perfectly cooked, juicy chicken every time!
