Grilled chicken is a popular dish where chicken pieces (typically boneless or bone-in) are cooked over a direct flame or on a grill, resulting in a delicious smoky flavor with a slightly crispy exterior. The chicken is often marinated or seasoned with a variety of spices, herbs, and oils before grilling, which adds depth of flavor. Common marinades can include ingredients like garlic, lemon, or various spices like paprika, cumin, and pepper.
Once cooked, the chicken should have juicy, tender meat on the inside with a slightly charred, golden-brown surface. It’s often served with sides like roasted vegetables, salads, rice, or potatoes. Grilled chicken can be eaten on its own or used in wraps, sandwiches, or salads.
