  4. Stir in dried oregano, lemon zest, and lemon juice from one whole lemon.

  9. Coat the chicken completely in the marinade, ensuring no part is bare.
  10. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Do not marinate overnight due to acid content.
  11. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  12. Place marinated chicken on the grill and cook for about four minutes, covered.
  13. Turn the chicken over and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute (or until almost fully cooked).
  14. Immediately cover the chicken with foil to keep it juicy while resting.
