Juicy, incredibly flavorful grilled chicken is easier than you might think; especially when it starts with a marinade loaded with flavor from beer, garlic, and a sprinkling of herbs.

Ingredients

11 ounces dark Mexican beer
3 tablespoons sesame seed oil
5 large cloves of garlic (minced, approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3-4 pounds chicken (I typically use 9-10 boneless skinless chicken thighs)

Steps:

Place the chicken in a gallon size zip-close bag or an airtight container. Stir together the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken.
Seal and turn the bag or container to coat the pieces evenly. Let rest in the refrigerator for 12-36 hours. I try to marinate chicken for a minimum of 24 hours most of the time, because the longer time makes a huge different in the flavor.
When ready to cook the meat, let the chicken rest on the counter for 30 minutes to an hour prior to cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. For boneless skinless chicken thighs, cook the meat 6 minutes on each side. Then increase the heat closer to medium-high and cook an additional 4 minutes, as needed. Enjoy!

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

½ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup fat-free chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
cooking spray
1 pound small new potatoes, halved

Steps:

Combine lemon juice, chicken broth, olive oil, garlic, and oregano in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, seal bag, and shake so chicken is well coated with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Pour chicken and marinade into the prepared baking pan. Arrange potatoes around the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
