We came up with this recipe to use our new grape seed oil we brought on our Alabama Wine Trail. Chicken Legs loves Greek food with all the lemon and great spices and we thought the grape seed oil would work well with those flavors. We marinated the chicken all day and then grilled it for dinner. The chicken smelled fantastic while we were cooking it – the oregano was so fragrant. It turned out great. It had a nice tanginess from the lemon juice, which made Chicken Legs very happy. We both really enjoyed the chicken. It was a nice change to our usual grilled chicken and I enjoyed getting to use our grape seed oil.

Seriously, is there anything better than grilled chicken? It's the perfect food! I like your Greek influences.
This would make a great sandwich too with some feta cheese and red onion. Have any leftovers you can send me? š
I love Greek flavors, I bet I would be all over this. It looks great!
You did a great job with that chicken! I love to see a a light crustiness like you obtained…
I like Greek, I like chicken, I like grapeseed oil, I like grilling. I thinking there may be a message in here somewhere. Great looking meal and yesterdays cookies look to die for.
