Ingredients

0.5 cup olive oil
2 lemons, juiced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 (4 pound) chicken, cut into pieces

Instructions

In a glass dish, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Add chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours to allow the flavors to infuse the chicken.
Prepare your outdoor grill by preheating it to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent the chicken from sticking.
Place the marinated chicken pieces on the hot grill, discarding the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken until it is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 15 minutes per side, but smaller pieces may cook faster. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
