Notes

This smokeless indoor grill works great.

Chicken legs will also work and breasts but chicken breasts will cook much faster.

You can use 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme instead of fresh

The length of time it takes to cook depends on the internal temperature of the chicken when it’s placed on the grill, the temperature of the grill, and the size of the chicken.

Put some lemon slices on the grill for the last 5 minutes of the chicken for a grilled lemon garnish.
