Baked Potatoes on the Grill Ingredients

4 large potatoes
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoon coarse salt

Variations and Substitutions

Potatoes: Russet potatoes (also called Idaho potatoes) are best for baking because they are low in moisture and have a thick skin that puffs and crisps nicely.

Vegetable Oil: Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, grapeseed oil or avocado olive oil, for example.

Coarse Salt: Kosher salt or sea salt are great options that will give your potato skins a little crunch, or use what you have on hand. Just don’t skip the salt!

Other seasonings: When you’re sprinkling salt onto the oil-rubbed potato, you can also sprinkle on any other seasoning you like. Consider pepper or garlic powder, for example.

Fully Loaded Baked Potatoes on the Grill

Gather some toppings and you’ve got a grilled baked potato bar that your whole family will enjoy. Here are some delicious flavor combos:

Loaded Classic – Cheddar cheese, dollop of sour cream, green onions and bacon bits (optional).
Loaded Chili – Easy chili, cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions and/or avocado.
Broccoli Cheddar – Parmesan roasted broccoli and melted cheddar cheese.
Southwestern – Pico de gallo, corn, black beans, cheese, sour cream, cilantro, avocado (or guacamole).
Lox – Smoked salmon, chives, cream cheese
Fajita – Fajita chicken, bell peppers, onion, cilantro lime sour cream and shredded cheese

Instructions

This section shows how to cook baked potatoes on the grill, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique. For full step-by-step instructions, photos and nutritional information see the recipe in the recipe card below.

PREPARE: Firstly, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and scrub potatoes getting all the dirt off the skin. Then pat dry with paper towel.

PREPARE POTATOES FOR COOKING: Poke unwrapped potatoes with a fork a couple of times. These small holes help venting the potato. Afterwards, brush oil on the outside of each potato. Sprinkle the entire potato with coarse salt. Then use your hands to make sure the salt is rubbed on and isn’t falling off. Finally cover them in aluminum foil.

COOK: Place potatoes on the hot grill rack. Close the cover, if possible. Bake for 45 minutes, turning with tongs every 5-10 minutes.

CHECK DONENESS: Check potato by piercing through the foil and potato with a fork. If the potato is done, the fork will insert easily into the middle of the potato. If it is still a little firm, cook for longer, checking every 4-5 minutes. The length of cooking time will depend on the size of the potato and the heat of the grill.

LET COOL: Remove from grill. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before handling.

WHAT TO MAKE NEXT: If you love crispy potato side dishes then you’ll love our Air Fryer Potato Wedges. They are crispy on the outside and perfectly soft in the middle. Air fryer potato wedges pair with any meal.

Stef says….

Grilled baked potatoes are fun and easy! They are a great summer or winter potato side dish. You can even cook these over a campfire if you have a rack to set them on.

Recipe Tips

Follow these tips to make the best baked potato on the grill.

Tip: Russet or Idaho potatoes are best for baking because they are low in moisture and have a thick skin that puffs and crisps nicely.
Tip: Don’t skip the salt, it will give your potato skins a little crunch and tons of flavor.
Tip: Make sure your potatoes are approximately the same size, to be sure they are all done at the same time. Smaller potatoes might be done sooner.

What To Serve With Baked Potatoes on the Grill

We love to eating a perfect grilled potato all by itself. But sometimes you need to serve this great side dish as a meal. Try one of these delicious recipes:

Main Course: Serve baked potatoes with fluffy interior with Air Fryer Ribs, or Grilled Chicken Marinade with Lemon. These delicious baked potatoes taste great with Chipotle Chicken Kabobs as well.

Salad: Pair grilled baked potatoes with a fresh salad. A green salad like our Easy Italian Salad or Chopped Asparagus Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette. Or even a Caprese Salad with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil.

Sides: These potatoes would also taste great with Air Fryer Pineapple, Air Fryer Green Beans, Air Fryer Beets or Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts with Bacon.

More Baked Potato Recipes

Don’t feel like firing up the grill? Baked potatoes are just as amazing in the oven (or convection oven), crock pot and in a toaster oven. And, if you’re in a hurry, you can bake potatoes in an air fryer, instant pot or microwave for faster results.

How To Store

Refrigerate: Store leftover potatoes in the refrigerator in an airtight container or ziploc bag for up to 3 days. While the skin may not be as crispy, they will still taste just as good.

Freeze: Additionally, you can freeze baked potatoes for up to a month. Before freezing, make sure your potatoes are fully cooled and don’t contain any toppings. Wrap them in foil or plastic wrap, ensuring no part of the potato is exposed to air. Place in a freezer safe container or sealed freezer bag without any excess air.

Defrosting: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or, for faster results, thaw in the microwave.

How To Reheat

Reheat baked potato leftovers in the microwave or in the air fryer.

Common Questions

What grill temperature should baked potato be cooked at?

Preheat your grill to a high heat, approximately 400 degrees F, and cook potatoes for 45 minutes to one hour to get the best texture inside and the crispiest skin on the outside.

Should baked potatoes be wrapped in foil?

On the grill, we recommend cooking your potatoes in foil to protect the skins from charring.

How long should you bake a potato for?

Depending on the size, 45 minutes to 1 hour at 400˚ should be enough time to make your potatoes fluffy and steamy inside with crispy skin outside.

Can you make baked sweet potatoes with the same method?

As a matter of fact, yes! However, sweet potatoes have a slightly different cooking time, depending on the size and type of potatoes.

What kind of grill works best with this easy side dish?

You can make baked potatoes on all kinds of grills, such as a charcoal grill, an electric grill or a gas grill, for example. Moreover, this perfect side dish cooks on the campfire as well. For best results, put them on a rack and cook the grilled baked potatoes directly over the fire.

Grilled Chicken Marinade with Lemon

Andrea + Stef — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 04:29:48 +0000

This grilled chicken marinade with lemon is incredibly fast to make and produces the most delicious grilled chicken thighs you have ever tasted. A blend of fresh lemon, tangy soy sauce, brown sugar and herbs will take your grilled chicken to the next level.

We have chosen bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for this chicken marinade recipe, but you can also grill chicken legs or small chicken breasts if you prefer. The marinade is ready to use in only five minutes. You can even marinate your chicken overnight in the fridge for a quick meal prep the next day.

If you don’t feel like heating up the grill, we have also included instructions on how to cook this fabulous chicken meal in the air fryer, Instant Pot or oven.

❤️ WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS GRILLED CHICKEN MARINADE RECIPE

✔️ This marinade has the perfect blend of sweet and savory making these chicken thighs addictive!

✔️ The marinade only takes 5 minutes to make.

✔️ Marinade chicken for 30 minutes and up to 24 hours ahead to make dinner prep easier.

✔️ Finally, grilled chicken that isn’t dry!

GRILLED CHICKEN MARINADE WITH LEMON INGREDIENTS

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for lemon soy chicken marinade, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.

You may have all of these lemon soy chicken marinade ingredients in your refrigerator or pantry and not need to make a trip to the grocery store. See recipe card below for ingredient amounts.

Olive Oil
Lemon juice: For best flavor use fresh lemon juice.
Brown Sugar: Light brown or dark brown sugar work well in this recipe. You can substitute honey for the brown sugar if you’d like.
Soy Sauce: If you’re cooking gluten free, make sure you use gluten free soy sauce.
Lemon Zest: For best results use fresh and bright yellow lemons. Make sure you only use the yellow part of the lemon peel and not the white one. The white part, also called pith, tastes bitter and might ruin the flavor of your lemon chicken. See more recipes with lemon.
Fresh Parsley
Dried Thyme
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Chicken Thighs: We use bone-in and skin-on chicken thighs for this recipe. However, you can also use chicken legs or small chicken breasts with skin if you prefer.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Enjoy this great lemon soy marinade recipe as a great addition to a Grilled Baked Potato, Garlic Knots and some fresh fruit. If you’re cooking this inside, consider some Creamy Mashed Potatoes and Air Fryer Broccoli.

INSTRUCTIONS

This section shows how to marinate chicken thighs and how to grill chicken thighs with step-by-step photos and details about the technique. For full instructions, nutritional information, to print the recipe or to have the recipe scaled to double or triple, see the recipe card below.

MAKE THE MARINADE: Place all the ingredients, except the chicken, in a large bowl. Whisk until everything is well combined. Add chicken thighs to the bowl, rotating to cover completely in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let marinate for 30 minutes on the counter or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.

🔴 TIP: If you don’t own a lemon zester, you can also use the fine side of a box grater to rub off the lemon zest or a vegetable peeler. First, peel off very thin slices of lemon peel (avoid the white part) and then chop the lemon peel finely on a cutting board with a knife.

GRILL: Heat your grill to medium high. Place marinated chicken thighs on the preheated grill. Turn every 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165ºF at the thickest part. It should take about 20-25 minutes to cook.

The length of time it takes to cook it depends on the temperature of the chicken when it’s put on the grill, the size of the chicken and the exact temperature of the grill.

GARNISH AND SERVE: Arrange chicken thighs on a platter, garnish with parsley and lemon slices and serve.

You might want to put some lemon slices on the grill for the last 5 minutes of the chicken cooking for a grilled lemon garnish. Serve with grilled baked potatoes and fresh fruit.

RECOMMENDED TOOLS

Grill – This recipe requires a grill. You can use an outdoor grill or an electric grill intended for indoor use. Do not use a gas or charcoal grill inside. This is the indoor grill we use and love.

OTHER WAYS TO COOK LEMON SOY CHICKEN

AIR FRYER: To cook in an air fryer, cook at 380ºF for about 10-25 minutes, flipping once in the middle.

OVEN: To cook in the oven, cook at 400ºF in a baking dish or on a sheet pan for 30-40 minutes.

INSTANT POT: To cook in an Instant Pot, add ⅓ cup of chicken stock to the pot. Add chicken. Close the lid, lock and seal vent. Cook for 7 minutes. Allow 5 minutes of natural release time. Manually release then unlock the lid.

⚠️ TIPS FOR THE BEST GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Follow these tips to make the best tender grilled chicken.

✔️ Pat the chicken skin dry. Drying the chicken with a paper towel before seasoning ensures the marinade will penetrate the chicken more.

✔️ Season under the skin. For more flavorful chicken meat, rub some of the marinade under the chicken skin as well. Then pull the skin back over the chicken and cover the outside with marinade.

✔️ Don’t crowd together while grilling. Leave a little space between your thighs on the grill.

✔️ Rotate every 5-10 minutes. Rotating and flipping the chicken on the grill will help prevent areas from becoming too charred before the chicken is cooked through.

STORAGE TIPS

Storing your food properly is important to prevent spoiling or food poisoning.

Refrigerate: Store grilled lemon soy chicken thighs in an airtight container or ziploc bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freeze: Grilled chicken marinade with lemon is best eaten fresh. However, you can freeze the chicken thighs in an airtight and freezer safe container or ziploc freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. We do recommend freezing uncooked chicken thighs rather than cooked ones.

Defrosting: A great way to defrost frozen chicken thighs is in the fridge overnight.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH GRILLED CHICKEN

Serve chicken thighs with a healthy side dish and some bread. Consider making these Copycat Lion House Rolls, Artichoke Rice Salad, or Cheesy Garlic Knots.

PREHEAT GRILL: Heat the grill to medium-high heat.

KITCHEN TIP

Medium high heat is equivalent to about 375 degrees F.

MARINATE CHICKEN: Dice the chicken into 1 inch cubes. Using our chipotle marinade recipe, make the marinade and add the honey to the marinade. Blend or mix together. Pour the marinade and chicken into a plastic bag or bowl. Allow it to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 24 hours.. You can also freeze the chicken for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator before making the kabobs.

PREP: Dice the peppers, and pineapple into pieces the same size as the chicken. If the pieces are larger or smaller than the chicken they won’t cook up as nicely on the grill.

KITCHEN TIP

If you are using wooden skewers, allow them to soak in water for 30 minutes before preparing.

MAKING THE SKEWERS: Alternate the chicken, pepper, and pineapples on the skewers and repeat for each one. Brush with oil. We recommend a high heat oil like avocado oil but you can use any oil you prefer.

GRILLING: Place the chicken skewers on the grill, turning every 4 to 5 minutes until they are fully cooked.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Click the questions to see the answer.

Can you use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

We wouldn’t recommend it. Sometimes that cut of meat is so tender it won’t stay on a skewer. If you were going to make these in a foil packet or in the oven more like a sheet pan meal, then you could use chicken thighs no problem.

How hot should the grill be for chicken kabobs?

Grill chicken kabobs at medium-high heat, approximately 375°F.

Should I put oil on the grill for kabobs?

If your grates are already clean you shouldn’t need oil. Some people choose to use it so the skewers don’t stick. This is really a personal preference.

Can skewers go in the oven?

Both metal and wood skewers can go in the oven. Wooden skewers should be soaked for 30 minutes before adding the ingredients onto them to prevent the wood from burning.
