Barbecued Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

  • Chicken Pieces, with skin and bones
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Butter
  • Lawry's Seasoned Salt

Instructions

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.
