A delightful grilled chicken recipe with a tangy citrus and soy marinade, perfect for a summer barbecue.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and celery salt.
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined for even flavor distribution.
Place the chicken pieces in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Clean the grill grates before preheating to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken on the grill, bone side down. Cook for about 25 minutes, turning occasionally.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Brush the chicken with the remaining marinade during the last 10 minutes of grilling.
Basting adds extra flavor and helps keep the chicken moist.
Serve the grilled chicken hot with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a touch of freshness.
