A bold mixture of red-pepper flakes, garlic, thyme, lemon juice, and olive oil serves as a spicy marinade for bone-in chicken breasts. If you want your chicken spicier still, increase the red pepper or leave the breasts in the marinade for an hour or two.
|
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
| 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice |
| 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme |
| 1/2 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes |
| 1 clove garlic, minced |
| 1/4 cup olive oil |
| 1/4 teaspoon salt |
| 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper |
| 4 bone-in chicken breasts (about 2 1/4 pounds in all) |
|
|
|
DIRECTIONS
Light the grill or heat the broiler. In a shallow dish, combine the lemon juice with the thyme, red-pepper flakes, garlic, oil, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken with the mixture.
|
Grill the chicken breasts over moderately high heat or broil them for 8 to 10 minutes. Turn and cook until the chicken is just done, about 10 minutes longer.
|
Variations
|
*Try any dried herb you like in place of the thyme. Marjoram, oregano, rosemary, or sage are all good choices.
*Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of bone-in breasts. Grill them until just done, about five minutes per side over moderately high heat.
*Use a quartered chicken instead of bone-in breasts. Cook the breast sections as directed in Step 2 and allow thirteen minutes per side for the leg quarters.
