Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken

Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken Recipe

How to Make Grilled Lemon Chicken

Hey friends! If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’ve been grilling a lot lately! Since posting several BBQ recipes, I’ve had a lot of yall ( and family members) request that I share some low carb, non saucy grilling recipes. Well baby, I have you covered. The other day I made my infamous Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken… Now before you get to rolling your eyes ( I know I’ve been promising to upload it for a few summers now!! ), I made sure that I recorded it this time!!! This chicken is very low carb friendly! I don’t use any sauce, flour, or anything that will make you jump of your low carb wagon. I use very few ingredients, and best of all- unlike many of my other grilling recipes, it’s not very time consuming( 45-50 minutes…. I tried yall).

Grilled Lemon Pepper Chicken Recipe

In the video I will be using my Napoleon Prestige 500 aka Big Daddy! If you don’t have a gas grill, no worries, you can certainly use a charcoal grill. Just be sure to heat your grill to 350 F.

Recipe

  • 2 lbs chicken ( I used legs and thighs)
  • 2 tbsp lemon pepper
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil ( you can use vegetable oil instead)

    I happen to have thawed chicken legs and thighs last night for cooking today but did not know what recipe I wanted to make until I saw this one. It sounds great and I am going to cook it in the oven. Will let you know about the results later. Thank you, Rosie. Nita

    Hi Rosie, I would like to try this since it seems so easy. I just wanted to know if the seasonings as is provide enough salt for the chicken or should I be adding some in addition to what the recipe calls for?
    Thanks.
