Grilled chicken with herbs is a tasty and light dish, perfect for a summer dinner. The chicken pieces are marinated in olive oil, lemon juice, aromatic herbs, and chili peppers, then grilled until they achieve a delicious crust. Black olives add a touch of Mediterranean flavor. This recipe originates from Italy but is loved in many other countries as well. Try it with fresh sides like mixed salad or grilled vegetables.
Carefully clean the chicken pieces, sprinkle them with salt and plenty of pepper, and place them in a bowl; add the onion cut into rings, the crushed garlic, the olives, the sage, the rosemary, the bay leaves, the halved chili peppers with seeds and veins removed, the juice of half a lemon, and the oil.
Turn the chicken pieces several times in the bowl so that they absorb the seasoning, cover the container with a sheet of plastic wrap, and let marinate for half a day in a cool place.
After the indicated time, drain the chicken quarters from the marinade and place them on the hot grill skin side down, let them cook for 20 minutes on each side, and be sure to brush them occasionally with the marinade.
Serve the chicken very hot.
