Tipps

Choosing the Chicken

Opt for fresh, high-quality chicken. For a low histamine diet, it's important that the meat is fresh as histamine levels can increase over time in proteins.

Marinating Time

Marinate the chicken for at least an hour to let the flavors seep in, but avoid marinating it for more than two hours to prevent histamine build-up.

Testing Doneness

Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is cooked to the safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will ensure it's fully cooked but still juicy and tender.

Resting the Chicken

Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling helps to redistribute the juices inside the meat. This results in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Choosing Your Herbs

This recipe uses rosemary and thyme, but feel free to experiment with other low-histamine herbs. Fresh oregano or basil could also work well with this recipe.

Discard the Marinade

Remember to discard any leftover marinade that has been in contact with the raw chicken to prevent cross-contamination.

Consuming Fresh

For a low histamine diet, it's best to consume the grilled chicken as soon as it's cooked. Leftovers can develop higher histamine levels.
