Barbecued Lemon Chicken
Ingredients
- Chicken Pieces, with skin and bones
- Fresh Lemon Juice
- Butter
- Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Method
- This is a recipe we all have made, a lot, over the years.
- Tim told me I should make something like this and measure what I have done so I could give you proper directions.
- We have never followed a definite measurement for this.
- Use as much chicken as you need to serve whoever is eating.
- You can use breasts, thighs, and legs or any one of them.
- I use a stick of butter to serve 4.
- Melt the butter and add enough lemon juice so the mixture tastes of lemon.
- Use the seasoned salt until the mixture has a definite orange color to it.
- Dip the chicken in the butter mixture and grill over medium heat.
- Each time you turn the chicken, dip in the warm butter mixture.
- You will probably grill the chicken for 45 minutes to an hour.
- Certainly cook until the juices run clear when pricked with a fork.
- Watch the chicken very carefully.
- Because the skin is still on it and you are grilling with butter the fat can start fires very quickly.
- I remember one memorable night in Toledo.
- It was raining and Uncle Mike was cooking the chicken in Aunt Nancy's garage.
- It turned out so black and charred we couldn't eat it.
- We were all under 30 and had no extra money.
- We also had no dinner that night!
