Enjoy the delicious smoky flavor of grilled lemon pepper chicken with this recipe inspired by John McLemore's Dadgum That's Good cookbook.
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 1/4 cup olive oil. 2 lemons, juiced. 2 teaspoons black pepper. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
Instructions: To make a marinade, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried thyme in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts and place them in a plastic bag that can be sealed. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or better yet, overnight, after sealing the bag. Set the temperature of your smoker to 225F 107C. Take the chicken out of the bag and allow any extra marinade to fall off. After the chicken has been placed on the smoker grates, smoke it for about two hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F 74C. To give the chicken a crispy outside, raise the temperature to 375F 190C during the final 15 minutes of smoking. Before serving, take it out of the smoker and give it five minutes to rest.
