Directions

  1. 1Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl or large Ziploc bag and fully coat the chicken.
  2. 2Marinate in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours, or at least 30 minutes.
  3. 3Grill the chicken over medium heat for 12-15 minutes, flipping occasionally.
  4. 4Alternatively, cook the chicken at 400°F in the air fryer for 25 minutes or in the oven for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. 5Preheat a skillet or saucepan over medium heat when the chicken is finished cooking.
  6. 6Sauté the garlic with olive oil until it starts to brown and get fragrant, then reduce heat to low.

  9. 9Simmer on low for a few mins until it begins to thicken, then add in half of the lemon zest and coat the chicken in the sauce.
