It's barbecue-satisfying but light and fresh at the same time. What a nice change from the normally heavy barbecue items.
What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 5 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (3- to 4-pound) chicken, quartered
What to Do
-
In a small saucepan, make marinade by mixing together all ingredients except chicken; cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
-
Place chicken quarters in a single layer in a large shallow dish Pour marinade over chicken. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1 to 2 hours.
-
Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade, and place skin-side up on a preheated barbecue grill, about 8 inches from heat source.
-
Grill, turning every 15 minutes, about 60 minutes or until fork can be inserted into chicken with ease and no pink remains.
-
During last 30 minutes of grilling, brush generously with marinade. (Be sure to discard bay leaf and excess marinade.)
