Lemon Rosemary Chicken

DebDeb Durocher

This is a great BBQ recipe. We usually use boneless chicken breasts but it works equally well with thighs or legs.

ingredients

  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 TBSP chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 1.25 KG chicken
  • 2 TBSP liquid honey
  • 2 TBSP Dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste
