Quick Lemon Herb Barbecued Chicken
This came from an Orlando Sentinel article with 5 recipes for chicken quarters. I used fresh rosemary just picked from the garden, the other herbs were dried. Mmm…. the scent alone makes you hungry! I roughly halved their recipe and am cooking 2 legs and 3 thighs.
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- juice from half a lemon
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried savory
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- a healthy sprinkling of black pepper
Melt the butter and stir in the herbs, salt and pepper. Put the chicken in a shallow dish and pour some of the herb butter over the pieces, turning so they are coated. Let sit for 20-30 minutes at room temperature while you light the grill. Reserve the rest of the butter mixture for basting.
Grill over medium heat (350F) for about an hour, turning a few times and basting if you remember. (I didn't and it still turned out great!)
