Rub the marinade all over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-3 hours for deeper flavor.
Prepare the Charcoal Grill:
Light your charcoal and let it burn until covered with white ash.
Spread the hot coals evenly in the grill for direct heat or bank them to one side for indirect heat.
Oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Grill the Chicken:
Place the marinated chicken on the grill.
Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the meat is nicely charred.
Turn occasionally to prevent burning and achieve even cooking.
Rest and Serve:
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
For extra smoky flavor, add a handful of soaked wood chips (like hickory or applewood) onto the hot coals.
Serve with grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Enjoy your delicious homemade charcoal chicken!
