How to make Pollo alla Griglia

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: red wine vinegar

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Red wine vinegar offers a similar tang at a lower cost.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

honey

🥗Healthier: maple syrup

💰Cheaper: agave syrup

Maple syrup provides sweetness with a different flavor profile.

Prepare a marinade by mixing olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.

Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).

Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off.

Place chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

During the last few minutes of cooking, brush chicken with a mixture of balsamic vinegar and honey for a glaze.

Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.

Serve chicken topped with tomato sauce, grated parmesan cheese, and fresh basil.
