Instructions
1
Prep
Pat chicken dry and cut 4–5 deep slashes into the thickest flesh so marinade penetrates evenly.

3
Grill
Place chicken skin-side down on medium-high heat and grill 10–12 minutes per side until charred and juices run clear when pierced.
4
Plate
Rest chicken 5 minutes, slice, and arrange with onion, cucumber and lemon wedges.
