LEMON BARBECUE CHICKEN

I found this great recipe many years ago in a recipe book so old the pages had yellowed. If you like to barbecue chicken, you'll really like this one. The secret is crushing the garlic rather than mincing. Somehow the flavor of the lemon, garlic and outdoor cooking will just make your mouth water! We all love it at my house.

LEMON BARBECUED CHICKEN



Lemon Barbecued Chicken image

My husband loves chicken, so when we bought our first charcoal grill, we needed a recipe for barbecued chicken. We ended up combining two recipes to come up with this one. We've used it the past 3 or 4 years now and haven't come across any recipe that's better.
