Ingredients

1/2 cup lemon juice

1/4 olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon fresh oregano or 1/4 teaspoon dried

2 whole chickens, quartered

Directions

  1. Make marinade by combining lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Place chicken in a dish with tall sides and pour marinade over chicken. Use spoon to baste chicken with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours--a longer marinade time will produce a more intense flavor. Remove from refrigerator and use a flat-sided utensil to gently scrape off any marinade solids. Grill chicken over high heat for a total of 20 minutes, turning over after first 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

I marinated chicken breasts with this for about 6 hours before grilling and then basted the chicken with it while it was cooking. It was the best grilled chicken recipe I have ever had. It was light enough for a hot summer night and the lemon gave it great dimension. I would definetely recommend this.
