Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger until well combined. Stir in chopped parsley, kosher salt, and ground black pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place your choice of chicken cuts into a sealable plastic bag or a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably up to 12 hours.
  3. Preheat the Grill: About 15 minutes before cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  4. Prepare the Chicken for Grilling: Remove the chicken from the marinade and gently pat it dry with paper towels.
  5. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Rest Before Serving: Let the chicken rest on a platter for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve and Pair: Slice the grilled chicken and serve it warm alongside your favorite sides.

Notes

Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours and ensure to pat it dry before grilling for a nice sear. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
