Grilled Citrus Chicken

It's the OJ, lemon juice and garlic marinade that makes this chicken sizzle.

1/2
cup frozen (thawed) orange juice concentrate
1/4
cup vegetable oil
1/4

  • 1 In shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients except chicken. Add chicken; turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag; refrigerate, turning chicken occasionally, at least 2 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
  • 2 Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 to 20 minutes, turning chicken and brushing with marinade occasionally, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).
  • 3 Heat remaining marinade to boiling; boil and stir 1 minute. Serve with chicken.

Expert Tips

For extra-moist grilled chicken, use tongs instead of a fork to turn the pieces. A fork will pierce the meat and let too many of the juices run out, drying the chicken.
