Grilled Garlic Chicken (Lebanese)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breast
- 4 cloves garlic
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Peel and crush the garlic with the salt. Stir it into the lemon juice and the olive oil.
- Cut the chicken breasts into walnut size pieces, sprinkle over the allspice and pour over the garlic and lemon marinade. Turn the chicken in this for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours for maximum penetration.
- Thread it onto skewers, packing reasonably closely together, 4 or 5 pieces to a skewer, and grill on a hot preheated grill for 2 to 3 minutes a side, turning 3 times. The chicken should be crisp and dark brown and still succulent on the inside.
Notes
This is a wonderful recipe and tastes just like you get in the Lebanese restaurants. I cook this under the broiler, but I am sure it would be even better on the barbecue.
