Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
Marinade
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup light soy sauce
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 cloves garlic (smashed)
- ¼ teaspoon black peppercorns
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
- Combine all marinade ingredients together in a bowl.
- Place chicken breasts in a one gallon zipper bag and pour in marinade. Remove most of the air and seal bag. Set on a rimmed pan in the refrigerator and let marinate for 4-6 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade while heating your grill, and discard marinade.
- Charcoal - Light a charcoal chimney full of coals and pour all of the hot coals on one side of the grill. Lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking and place the chicken breasts on the hottest part of the grill to sear, flipping to cook evenly. When the exterior is threatening to burn, move the chicken to the cool side of the grill to allow the interior to gently reach 165 degrees.Propane - Set the burner on high and place chicken breast directly over heat to sear, flipping as needed. Turn down heat to low once the exterior threatens to burn and let cook until the interior reaches 165 degrees.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
Notes
Grilling chicken breasts should take about ten minutes, however, the exact time can vary wildly depending on the temperature of your cooking surface, which is why I always recommend using a meat thermometer.
