Grilled Chicken with Rosemary and Lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
� cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves
Salt and pepper
1 3�- to 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 or 10 serving pieces
� cup fresh lemon juice
Heat grill until medium-hot. In a small saucepan, bring 1/3 cup
water and the rosemary to a boil; remove from heat, cover and let
steep 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender (use caution when blending
hot liquids). Add oil and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Pur�e
until smooth; let cool.
Combine chicken and rosemary oil in a shallow dish or resealable
plastic bag. Turn to coat. Let marinate at least 15 minutes at room
temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Turn occasionally.
Remove chicken from marinade; place on grill. Cook, basting
frequently with lemon juice, turning as needed to prevent burning,
until cooked throughout, 20 to 30 minutes.
