Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh Cervasi Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup Cervasi Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 12 chicken legs, 8 thighs, or 6 chicken breasts with skin and bones
  • Lemon slices, optional for garnishing
  • Loaf of crusty bread

Instructions

  1. Whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, garlic, 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and olive oil.
  2. Discard any excess fat from chicken, pat dry, and season well with salt and pepper.
  3. Grill chicken as you normally would to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F or until the juices run clear. If chicken starts to burn, move it to a cooler part of the grill.
  4. Transfer the cooked chicken to bowl with lemon dressing and toss to coat, then transfer to a large serving platter.
  5. Drizzle the bread with olive oil and kosher salt.
  6. Grill the bread and the lemon slices, uncovered, until grill marks appear, and arrange on the platter with chicken.
