Italian Dressing Chicken
Super simple, this is one of the easiest dishes to prepare for the grill, yet somehow one of the tastiest as well.
Equipment
- BBQ
- Large Zip Lock Bag
Ingredients
- 1 whole Chicken jointed into 8 pieces
- 30 ml White Wine Vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic peeled and finely chopped
- 1.5 tsp Dijon Mustard with Honey
- 1.5 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1.5 tsp Dried Basil
- .5 tsp Salt
- .5 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- .5 tsp Caster Sugar
- 1 whole Lemon zest and juice
- 90 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
- Pour the vinegar and lemon juice into a small bowl. Then add in the mustard, and whisk until well combined. Add in the garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar, and whisk again until all combined. Whilst whisking, slowly add the oil, ensuring it emulsifies into consistent dressing.
- The chicken should be jointed into drumsticks, thighs, and the breast (on the bone) removed from the lower carcass and cut into two pieces, giving 8 pieces in total. Place in the ziplock bag, add in the dressing and massage it around the chicken to ensure it's well covered. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- When you're ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess but ensuring each piece is coated. Cook over a medium heat grill, be it BBQ, firepit, or grill pan, until golden brown all over and cooked through (internal temp of 75C, and any juices run clear).
- Serve with plenty of salad and campfire potatoes.
