# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
In a bowl, combine oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, all your seasonings, and some Parmesan. Whisk it all up until it looks creamy.
02 -
Drop the chicken into the bowl, make sure each piece gets covered. Wrap it up and let it sit in the fridge from 30 minutes to 4 hours—longer means more flavor.
03 -
Fire up your grill around 200–220°C. Rub a slick of oil on the grates, that way nothing will stick.
04 -
Set the marinated chicken on the grill. Let it go 5–7 minutes on a side. It's done when the middle hits 75°C and clear juice runs out.
05 -
Add a bit more Parmesan to the chicken right before you pull it off the grill. Let it melt nicely in the last minute or two.
06 -
Give your chicken about five minutes to relax after grilling. Then go ahead and throw on chopped parsley plus a little more Parmesan before eating.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
No grill at home? Sear the chicken in a big frying pan on medium or shove it in an oven at 200°C for roughly 20–25 minutes.
02 -
Want it super moist? Pick chicken thighs. Prefer lighter? Use the breasts.
03 -
Really tasty with salad, pasta, or roasted veggies on the side.
