Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place chicken into a large plastic bag or a shallow baking dish.
  • Next, whisk the olive oil, garlic, parsley, smoked paprika, and salt together, then pour the mixture over the chicken. If you're using a plastic bag, seal it shut, then use your hands to make sure the chicken is completely coated. If you're using a baking dish, cover it with plastic wrap.
  • Place the bag/dish in the refrigerator and allow chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  • Heat grill to 400-425°, then place the chicken smooth side down and cook it for 5 minutes without disturbing. Use kitchen tongs to flip it over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until it reaches and internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Transfer the chicken from the grill onto a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
