Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 tea bags (regular black tea, like Liptons)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon pepper
  • 4 scallions, roughly chopped
  • 2-3 large sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 bone-in chicken pieces (breast halves, legs, thighs or both)

Instruction

  • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Drop in the tea bags, remove from the heat and steep for 10 minutes. Stir in sugar until it is completely melted and allow to cool.
  • Add salt, pepper and scallions. Roll the rosemary between your hands to crush the leaves and add.
  • Cut the lemon in half, squeeze the juice into the tea mixture, then drop the lemon halves in.
  • Pour the mixture into a plastic zipper bag and add the chicken. Seal the bag and put it in your fridge overnight, turning it over from time to time.
  • Heat grill to medium and cook chicken (discarding marinade) until cooked – an instant read thermometer should read 160. Turn the chicken from time to time so that all sides are golden.
  • Enjoy with a glass of sweet tea!
