Honey, Lemon & Rosemary Grilled Chicken
Updated March 26, 2019
Memorial Day is right around the corner. Is your grill ready? We love grilling out, especially on holidays. It is tradition. Josh always “mans” the grill. One of his favorite recipes to serve up is this Honey, Lemon & Rosemary Grilled Chicken. It is great to serve at parties because it goes with everything and everyone loves it.
This recipe is super easy to make, which makes it perfect for summer parties. You can make it in advance because the chicken needs to marinate for at least 30 minutes and can marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Remove the chicken from the marinade when your grill is hot and ready!
We like to serve this Honey, Lemon & Rosemary Grilled Chicken with Bush’s Southern Pit Barbecue Grillin’ Beans. The beans are a great side for your Memorial Day BBQ!

- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Lemon and Rosemary is the best combination for Chicken. What a great recipe!
This is so summery!! Love grilled chicken ๐
What a beautiful meal!! I rarely make chicken because I get bored by it… But I definitely would not be bored by this! And the grill marks are so pretty ๐
Love this! We love to grill chicken and this one is going to be a keeper, Maria!
I’m always on the lookout for great grilled chicken recipes. This looks so tasty!
Just made this dish. It was easy and delicious.
First of all, I LOVE honey on my chicken. It really does go with everything! Secondly, baked beans always complete a summer bbq ๐
I made this and it is delicious! I let it marinate for over an hour. I’ll make this again and again ๐
We need this for dinner tonight!
Made this for dinner tonight, and it was great!! The flavors blended together perfectly!
I made this yesterday and it was delicious!! It smelled so good while grilling too – when I opened the lid to flip the chicken over, it smelled wonderful. Thank you for a great marinade recipe!
It’s barbecue season! So simple yet classic! Can’t wait to try this!
I am a big fan of the grill and make a lot of marinades. This one is waaaaaaayyyy too sweet for me
AMAZING! My family said it was the best chicken they’ve ever had!
Made this tonight with grilled corn, a buttermilk-yogurt dressed salad and thyme seasoned zucchini and squash. This chicken dish was so simple yet so flavorful and unbelievably moist! Its now in my go-to chicken recipe book!
Hello from Nova Scotia, Canada! My husband and I made this for dinner tonight and absolutely loved it! Great job ๐ I’m a new fan of your blog!!!
This excellent website truly has all the info I
needed about this subject and didn’t know who to ask.
I made this last night and it is delicious! I love this site; fresh and easy recipes. So glad I found two peas.
Made this last night for my husband and I – wonderful! Definitely will go on our favorites list! We ended up baking the chicken due to lack of access to a grill right now – bet it tastes amazing grilled too!
Tasted just awful … a horrid experience.
I made this delicious chicken, using the marinade, but don’t have a grill so cooked in my crockpot. So good!
Glad you liked it!
