Chicken grilled on coals

6 servings

45 minutes

Grilled chicken over coals is a dish that embodies the spirit of American cuisine and barbecue traditions. It is characterized by juicy meat, a rich aroma of spices, and a light smoky note typical of coal cooking. A marinade made from lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, and spices makes the chicken tender and flavorful. Special attention is given to the marinating process, which infuses the meat with flavor and makes it incredibly soft. Grilled chicken acquires a golden crust and pleasant crunch, turning each dish into a true celebration of taste. It is the perfect treat for picnics, friendly gatherings, or family dinners that pairs easily with fresh vegetable or potato sides.
