Grilled Chicken with Sicilian Salmoriglio 🍋
A vibrant and delicious sauce to drizzle over everything this summer! ☀️
Summer is full on right now – hot, hot humid days punctuated with heavy downpours, thunder, and lighting. A little grilling in the rain (when there is no lighting of course – safety first!) has been in order and keeps us enjoying my go-to sauce of summer – one that is rather fun to pronounce – tangy, vibrant salmorigilio (sal-more-EEL-ee-yo).
In this post, I am here to share not one but two things: my recipe for this delicious, lemony sauce AND somewhat unrelated but a bonus nonetheless, to tell you that you should be spatchcocking your chickens (but more on that in a minute!)
First, let’s talk about this addictive Salmoriglio sauce.
Salmoriglio translates to ‘briny’ in Italian and is pronounced “salmurigghiu” in the Sicilian dialect, and “salamarigghiu” in Calabrian dialect. The main ingredients are lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and oregano. Parsley is also added, mostly in Calabria. Salmoriglio is ridiculously easy to make. The Southern Italians nailed this one. It is like summer sun ☀️ in a bowl that adds a burst of flavor to whatever you put it on – zippy and bright; lemony and garlicky. The beauty of salmoriglio lies in its simplicity – just a handful of ingredients that come together into a vibrant, versatile blend.
