Greek-inspired Grilled Chicken

This marinade comes together in a snap and only gets better the longer it sits (1 hour to overnight). The result is a delightfully savory main dish with the right amount of lemon for an acidic brightness.

Fresh rosemary, lemon, and garlic.
Sometimes you come home from the grocery store with half of a plan for dinner. We bought chicken wings and knew we wanted to grill them, but hadn't thought about how to season them. Outside our front door there is a rosemary bush and a large lemon tree that is heavily weighed down with lemons (even in winter!). As we walked up to the front door, I decided that we would be having a Greek-inspired marinade. I coarsely chopped the rosemary, diced a few cloves of garlic, juiced two lemons, added S & P and olive oil and we were in business. An hour later our chicken was on the grill and smelled absolutely heavenly! We knew immediately that this quick marinade was a keeper. Just a little bit later, the chicken came off the grill and, holy yum! This impromptu plan was a success!
