Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of freshly grated ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of minced parsley, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper.
  2. Place your chicken thighs or breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is generously coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours—up to 12 hours.
  3. About 30 minutes before cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 450°F). Remove the chicken from the marinade, and pat it dry with paper towels.
  4. Place the chicken on the preheated grill, ensuring there's enough space between each piece for even cooking. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Once grilled to perfection, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices. Slice the juicy chicken and serve it warm.
