GRILLED LEMON-ROSEMARY CHICKEN
Ingredients:
1 (3 1/2 lb.) chicken, cut up
3 large lemons
1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
1/2 cup fresh rosemary or 3 tablespoons dried rosemary
6 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
Rosemary sprigs
Lemon wedges
Salt and pepper
Directions:
Remove and discard excess fat from chicken. Rinse chicken and pat
dry.
Cut lemons in half and ream juice to make 3/4 cup. Combine reamed
lemon shells, lemon juice, oil, the 1/2 cup rosemary and garlic in a
large heavy-duty plastic bag or nonreactive bowl.
Add chicken and seal bag (or cover bowl). Rotate bag to distribute
marinade and place in a shallow pan. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours
or until the next day, turning chicken occasionally.
Remove chicken from bag, reserving marinade. Arrange chicken, bone
side down in center of cooking grate. Place lid on grill. Cook, turning
pieces occasionally and brushing with reserved marinade, until meat
near bone is no longer pink (30 to 35 minutes for breasts, 35 to 45
minutes for thighs and drumsticks; cut to test).
Transfer chicken to a platter or individual plates. Garnish with rosemary
sprigs and lemon wedges. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
