Zesty Garlic Lemon Grilled Boneless Chicken Thighs
I am so excited that the weather has warmed up and it is actually nice to sit on my back porch and use my grill. I had some of my Saffron Garlic Infused Olive Oil left over from making my dressing for my Chickpea and Orzo Salad and I wanted to use it up. What better use for it than to make a marinade for some grilled chicken. I love garlic and lemon together so I came up with this recipe for Zesty Garlic Lemon Grilled Boneless Chicken Thighs. The chicken was so tender and flavorful. Feel free to add a little more Aleppo pepper if you want it a little zestier! Hope you enjoy! Afiyet olsun!
