The marinade for this Lemon Pepper Chicken is super easy and makes the juiciest chicken ever! A grilling recipe the whole family will love.
If you’re looking for a super simple recipe to throw on a grill this summer, look no further than this grilled lemon pepper chicken. With only three ingredients (which you should already have, at least if you’re anything like me) plus a cut up chicken, you can end up with a dinner that is moist and bursting from flavor.
Jonathan actually devoured his chicken leg with no prompting whatsoever, and Dave remarked to me how juicy the chicken was. I love it because there is almost no cleanup- just pitch your marinade bag and throw your grilling tongs in the dishwasher.
Baby, its summer- I have better things to do than dishes!

Hi! What brand of Italian salad dressing do you use! There’s so many out there, just wondering if you had a preferenc. Thanks!
Jacqueline says
No, whatever I happen to have around. I tend to use Wishbone dressing for marinating and/or Olive Garden’s dressing. 🙂

no lemons mentioned in the ingredients or instructions !!!

That’s because there aren’t lemons in it. There’s “lemon pepper” seasoning.
