Brasilian Lemon Chicken

"Barbecuing outside with my favorite jams on the boombox.  First make sure you have a full tank of propane for the grill. When I go to the store, I always look for the fattest chicken drumsticks that I can find. The key is the fresh lemons. Then flavor the BBQ chicken all they way through."

Chicken
Grab about 6 lemons
Olive Oil
Garlic - minced
Fresh Rosemary
BBQ Sauce - home made or store bought
Salt

"While I am going through my CD's for something tantalizing, the chicken legs are soaking in a ziplock bag, along with olive oil, freshly squeezed lemons, and a bit of garlic.  Sometimes I throw fresh rosemary in.  The longer the chicken soaks, the more juicy and tender it will be. 

"BBQ the chicken.  I take the juice from the bag, and baste the legs while they are cooking.  I use several additional fresh lemons that I squeeze over the chicken.  I do this several times.  I usually coat half the chicken in BBQ sauce.  Serve up with a lot of salt.

"Pre-heat the grill to 400 degrees F. Take the chicken out of the bag and place on the heated grill. Take the juice from the bag and baste the legs while they are cooking. Squeeze additional lemons over the chicken. Do this several times. I usually coat half the chicken in BBQ Sauce. Sprinkle the salt and eat."
