Grilled Citrus Chicken

Grilled Citrus Chicken

  • Total Time: :55
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3½–4-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • Kosher salt; freshly ground pepper
  • 2 lemons, halved
  • 2 oranges, halved

Instructions

  1. Prepare a grill for medium heat. Rub chicken pieces with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill chicken, skin side down, turning occasionally and squeezing juice from 2 lemon halves and 2 orange halves over often, until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thigh registers 165°, 25–35 minutes.
