  • Completed step 1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
  • Completed step 60 ml fresh lemon juice
  • Completed step 60 ml fresh orange juice
  • Completed step 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Completed step 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

  • Completed step Extra-virgin olive oil

  • Completed step 1 tsp salt
  • Completed step ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Special Equipment

  • Weber Connect Smart Grilling Hub

Instructions

  • In a large, resealable plastic bag combine the marinade ingredients, including 2 tablespoons oil. Place the chicken in the bag, press the air out of the bag, and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place the bag in a bowl, and refrigerate for 3 to 5 hours, turning occasionally.
  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180° to 230°C).
  • Brush the cooking grates clean. Brush the onion slices with oil. Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade. Season the chicken evenly with the salt and pepper, and then grill over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until the meat is firm to the touch and no longer pink in the center, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once. At the same time, grill the onions over direct medium heat until tender, 12 to 15 minutes, turning once or twice. Remove from the grill as they are done, and let the chicken rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Cut the chicken crosswise into slices about 12 millimeters thick. Serve warm with the onions.
