Grilled Chicken with Board Dressing

This vibrant grilled chicken with board dressing is a fantastic choice for those seeking a diabetes-friendly meal that doesn't compromise on flavour. By using a 'board dressing' technique—where the resting meat sits directly in a pool of fresh herbs, lime zest, and heart-healthy olive oil—the chicken absorbs a wonderful depth of seasoning without the need for sugary marinades. The combination of earthy dried chillies and aromatic oregano creates a sophisticated profile that works beautifully with the smoky char from the grill.

As a lean protein dish, it fits perfectly into a balanced lifestyle, offering a satisfying and nutritious main course. Serving the chicken with plenty of lime wedges adds a final citrus lift that cuts through the richness of the olive oil. This simple yet impressive method is ideal for healthy weekend entertaining or a fresh mid-week supper, especially when paired with a crisp green salad or roasted Mediterranean vegetables.

Ingredients for Grilled Chicken with Board Dressing

  • 1 dried guajillo or New Mexico chilli or

  • 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh coriander

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest

  • 60ml olive oil plus more for grill

  • Sale kosher, pepe macinato fresco

  • freshly ground pepper

  • 450g chicken, halved, backbone removed

  • Lime wedges (for serving)

If using whole chilli, toast in a dry skillet, turning often, until slightly puffed and darkened, about 4 minutes. (Do not toast red pepper flakes.) Discard stem and seeds. Finely chop chilli and transfer to a small bowl. Stir in coriander, oregano, lime zest, and 60ml oil; season dressing with salt and pepper.

Prepare grill for medium indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on 1 side of grill; for a gas grill, leave 1 burner turned off). Brush grill rack with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place, skin side down, on grill. Grill chicken, turning occasionally, until skin is crisp and browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh registers 165°, 10-15 minutes per side (move chicken to cooler part of grill if it's cooking too quickly). About 5 minutes before chicken is done, baste with some of dressing.

Pour remaining dressing onto a carving board (or platter, if you don't have a large board) and place chicken, skin side up, on top. Let sit at least 10 minutes to rest and absorb flavour from dressing before carving. Drizzle chicken with some dressing from board and serve with limes.

DO AHEAD: Dressing can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
