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).
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)
What the video for instructions

Instructions

Hello, Can this be done in the oven with a roasting grill pan? if so, cook at what degrees and how long?
Yes it can. Still on 350 F, for 45-50 minutes 🙂

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.
It was enough seasoning for me.
So good! I just baked mine BC it is TOO hot to pull out the grill, lol! This goes in the dinner rotation!

You can definitely cook this in the oven, and cover with foil.
