Are you looking for a simple chicken recipe that is a snap to prepare and can be grilled in 10 minutes? I like to BBQ, especially on these late summer/early autumn evenings. This recipe for Garlic Lemon Chicken Thighs is one of my back-pocket, not-a-lot-of-time-needed, go-to recipes.
It is so easy to make and using the BBQ means little cleanup. This Garlic Lemon Chicken is so easy to prepare, I actually hesitated posting this recipe, but then one of my friends and TravelFoodCool readers told me that super simple recipes are exactly what she’s looking for!
Back-to-school students, here is one that you can make in a larger quantity and use throughout the week for sandwiches, salads and easy-to-grab meals.
