I absolutely loved this chicken! I used chicken quarters and left the skin on. I didn't want to lose even a little of such a bright fresh taste. I'll be making it often so thanks so much for posting it! Made for World Tour 2019

This is a delightful dish! It has great big flavor from the herbs grilled in the chicken and then adding the fresh when serving. We left the skin on - it was scrumptious! The chicken breasts were huge and took a bit longer to cook, but hubby said well worth the wait. I loved the thighs and wings the best and the leftovers were equally delicious. Made for SWT 2019

This recipe is a true delight! I love a recipe that I enjoy making as well as eating; I love the aroma of the citrus zest, fresh parsley, garlic and cumin that you get while preparing this chicken. I prepared as directed using breasts only and the cook time was spot on. We really enjoyed this moist and flavorful grilled chicken - thanks for sharing the recipe!
