30 minutes
Lexington-style marinated grilled chicken is a wonderful dish of American cuisine rooted in Southern barbecue traditions. The key element of the recipe is an apple cider vinegar-based marinade that gives the meat a characteristic tang balanced by the sweetness of brown sugar and the spiciness of red pepper. The chicken is soaked in this marinade to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat's texture and then grilled to create an appetizing golden crust. This dish is perfect for summer evenings outdoors and pairs well with crunchy salads and grilled corn. It's a simple yet incredibly flavorful recipe that will delight lovers of juicy and aromatic chicken.
