Our 10 Most Popular Grilled Chicken Recipes

As soon as the grill is fired up, we think of chicken! On skewers or in a wrap, there are so many ways to prepare it. The 10 recipes below are among your favourites on our site and they’ll continue to brighten your evenings on the balcony or in the backyard this summer.

1. Portuguese-Style Grilled Chicken (The Best)

With its tender meat and touch of spice, this festive grilled dish will bring people together and is worthy of the best Portuguese rotisseries. Simply marinate the chicken overnight in a homemade spicy sauce, and then butterfly it for even cooking. The result is a totally addictive chicken dish!

2. Barbecue Chicken Skewers (The Best)

Every family likely has their own recipe for this grilling favourite: chicken skewers. For best results, only use meat; vegetables should be cooked separately and served alongside the barbecue sauce. A summer classic!

3. Chicken Drumsticks with Paprika and Turmeric

Who doesn’t enjoy a recipe that’s prepared in four simple steps? To cook the chicken drumsticks, just mix them with chopped garlic and sprinkle with a blend of paprika, chili powder and turmeric. Cook them in the oven for about 30 minutes and serve with quinoa or vegetables.

4. Maple-Glazed Chicken Drumsticks

This simple recipe makes the perfect weeknight meal. Coat the drumsticks in a generous amount of maple syrup and chili sauce mixed with red wine vinegar and garlic, and then let them marinate all day while you work. All that’s left is to grill the drumsticks for 20 minutes and dinner is served.

5. Grilled Chicken Wraps

In this recipe, the mustard and buttermilk marinade is also used as a sauce when mixed with mayonnaise, dill and Parmesan cheese. Wrap the chicken in pita along with cucumbers and carrots, and you’ve got a sandwich that’s packed with flavour!

6. Chicken Skewers with Hoisin Sauce

To prepare these Asian-style skewers, use sweet and savoury hoisin sauce, along with rice vinegar and sesame oil. You’ll be left with beautifully caramelized skewers that are perfect for a summer dinner.

7. Beer Can Chicken

This recipe was shared with us by grilling guru, Steven Raichlen. Create a smoky effect by burning applewood chips in an aluminum pan set over one of the burners of your grill. And to keep the chicken moist and juicy, insert a can filled with beer into the bird. It’s a weekend project that’s sure to impress your guests!

8. Grilled Chicken with Greek Yogurt and Smoked Paprika Marinade

The whole family will fall for these melt-in-your-mouth tender chicken thighs. Let them marinate for eight hours in the fridge with salt and spices that’ll deeply flavour the meat, helped along by the Greek yogurt. By adding a bit of olive oil to the marinade, you’ll allow for a better distribution of the smoky and slightly spicy aromas.

9. BBQ Chicken Breasts

Chicken breasts are always a hit. In this recipe, they’re infused with a delicious orange flavour thanks to a marinade made with the juice and zest, honey and tomato paste. You can also use it as a sauce afterwards. Convenient!

10. Quick and Easy Portuguese-Style Chicken

Pressed for time to cook our best-ever Portuguese chicken, but are craving its smoky flavours? This quick recipe is ready in just minutes. Sweet paprika and bird’s eye chili pepper give the thighs a great kick of flavour, making it the perfect alternative.
