Grilled Bone In Chicken Breasts with Rosemary and Lemon
Bone in chicken breasts are brined, stuffed with lemon and rosemary, then grilled over low heat to a perfect 165F. The flavor combination is amazing.
Ingredients
- 4 large bone in skin on, split chicken breasts
- 4 pats butter
- 4 thin lemon slices
- 4 sprigs rosemary 3 inches
- Salt and pepper or our Chicken Rub
- Brine
Instructions
- Brine the chicken breasts for at least four hours but preferably overnight.
- Rinse the breasts in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Use your fingers to create a pocket underneath the chicken skin.
- Insert the butter, rosemary and lemon into the pocket.
- Season the skin with salt and pepper or our chicken rub.
- Grill over Medium/Low heat, turning often, to an internal temperature of 165F.
Notes
Bone in, skin on chicken breasts usually cost much less than boneless, skinless breasts but are much more delicious. The bone and skin help protect the meat from drying out while grilling and the cooked skin is amazing all by itself!
