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)
Grilled Chicken Breasts with Lemon and Thyme Recipe at Cooking.com
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.

Worked nicely with boneless chicken breasts See all of Rosemary's reviews »
Last week I was searching on your site for a marinade recipe that didn't require more ingredients than I had on hand. This recipe worked nicely. I prepared as described then placed the chicken (boneless breasts) in it for a short while (half an hour?) and then grilled. I liked it enough to come back and print the recipe so I will have for future use. Today I see that you are featuring the same recipe. I'll make this chicken again and again this summer.
