Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons chile flakes
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 12 cloves garlic, smashed
- One 4- to 6-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, chile flakes, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the marinade in, coating all of the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours or up to overnight.
- Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to come up to 375 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Reviews
Have made this a few times now.. with the potatoes and greens. This time traded out the chicken for pork loin…ah-maz-ing!!!
Our family loves this recipe and we have it in our regular rotation. Delicious with the potatoes and Greek greens!!
This will be added to our monthly rotation! We had family over and EVERYONE raved about it. We even did the potatoes with it. YUM. We have never made anything from Chef Symon that wasn’t a hit!!
Worst ever
The chicken was amazing. Super tasty and tender.
Great flavors! I marinated it overnight which gave the chicken beautiful flavor from the lemon and herbs. The lemon potatoes were the perfect match of flavors. What a great summer dinner!
Th 2 teaspoons of chili flakes is way more than 1 chicken can handle, it overpowered all the other flavors of the marinade, couldn’t find the lemon or the oregano, just excess heat and garlic.
Very good recipe. Great marinade! I love being able to use home-grown, fresh herbs.
Made this for a dinner party and it was delicious. Thank you Michael.
This is such an amazing recipe for chicken and it is so easy! You have to make it with the potatoes. This will be my go-to chicken marinade.
