Ingredients

2 lbs bone-in chicken breast optional - wings, thighs, drumbs
2 tbs avocado oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3 tsp lemon peel

Instructions

Preheat the grill to 450 degrees.
Prepare the chicken- Trim any excess skin off the chicken and add the chicken to a bowl.
Add the oil to the chicken and make sure it coats all sides. Add the lemon pepper seasoning and mix it all over the chicken.
Add the chicken to the preheated grill. Rotate the chicken after you get some great sear marks on one side and it looks like it can go any longer before it will burn.
Monitor the chicken with a meat thermometer. You are looking for a temp just under 165 degrees before you pull it from the grill
If your doing breast with thighs and legs, be prepared to pull the chicken off early because the breast will not be done yet.
Pull the chicken and let it rest. You are shooting for 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy! Get in there and enjoy some of this great chicken.

Notes

Tips

I really feel that chicken on the bone really brings out the flavor of the meat. Keep an eye on the bone-in chicken on the grill so you do not burn it.
If you are going to use a barbecue sauce you will want to wait until the end. With this high heat, you will end um burning the sauce.
