Rosemary chicken

Ingredients

  • 3 - 4 x chicken breasts
  • several sprigs fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 2 - 3 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
  • juice of one lemon
  • quarter cup or so olive oil
  • 1 - 2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Preparation

Place the chicken under saran wrap or similar and bash flat with a rolling pin. Cut into halves.

Into a gallon ziploc bag place all the marinade ingredients and combine. Add the chicken pieces and get them all well covered. Close up the bag expelling as much air as possible. Leave to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the fridge for up to several hours.

Best cooked on the grill over hot coals with hickory wood chunks for smoky flavor.
