FAQs
How much time should the chicken be marinated?
Give the chicken at least 30 minutes to marinade for the finest taste. But soaking it for a whole night will enhance the taste even more.

Can I substitute chicken thighs for the breasts?
Of course! Another excellent option are chicken thighs, which have more juice. The cooking time should be adjusted appropriately since thighs could take a little longer to cook thoroughly.

How should leftover food be stored?
Any leftovers may be kept for up to three days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. To preserve moisture, reheat gently in the oven or on the stovetop.

Is marinated chicken freezer-friendly?
Indeed, the marinated chicken is freezer-safe. For up to three months, freeze the chicken and marinade together in a freezer-safe bag. Refrigerate to thaw before baking.

How about anything other than lemon juice?
Lime juice or a mild vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, may be used in their place if you run out of lemons. It will still taste great, but the flavor will be a little different.

When is the chicken done? How can I tell?
Using a meat thermometer is the most reliable technique to make sure the chicken is done through. It should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit inside. Additionally, the flesh should be white and pink-free, and the fluids should flow clear.

What kind of herbs can I put to change the taste?
Try experimenting with other herbs from the Mediterranean, including dill, basil, or rosemary. Everybody will add their own taste to the meal.

Is it possible to grill the chicken rather than bake it?
Yes, the chicken will have a wonderful smokey taste from cooking. Cook on the grill for about 6–7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
