Ingredients

• kosher salt to taste
• 2 medium lemons
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste
• 4 medium lemons, zested and juiced
• 5 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and finely chopped
• 5 sprigs Fresh Sage
• 3 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
• 8 (5 ounce) chicken thighs, trimmed
• 0.5 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Whisk olive oil, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, sage, garlic, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.

Step 3

Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Season generously with salt and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 4

Cut 2 whole lemons in half; trim tips off ends.

Step 5

Cook chicken, skin side down, on the preheated grill for 3 to 4 minutes: turn 90 degrees to create a crosshatch pattern. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes, turn, and cook until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 6

Meanwhile, grill lemons, flesh-side down, until caramelized. Flip over and cook, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with grilled chicken.
