Great for Summer BBQ - Lemon Rosemary Chicken Legs

  Lemon and rosemary come together to make a tasty marinade for these chicken legs and thighs.  Whenever I'm visiting my father, I love picking fresh lemons off his tree for this recipe, and I pick a few sprigs fresh rosemary from a  bush that grows in his front yard. 

  This recipe is a combination of a personal marinade my son-in-law worked out with some additions I picked up from one of my cookbooks.

Lemon Rosemary Chicken Legs

1.  Prepare chicken:  Skin 12 pieces of chicken

2.  Prepare marinade - Put in a small bowl and mix together:
(1) 4 T of fresh lemon juice 
(2)  1/4 cup of olive oil
(3)  4 cloves of minced garlic
(4)  1 t salt and 1 t black pepper
(5)  Chop 2 T of fresh rosemary

3.  Marinade:
(1)  Pour the marinade over the chicken and coat all the pieces.
(2)  Cover and put in the fridge for 1 hour to overnight or put in a plastic zip-loc bag.
(3) When it's done marinating, put the extra into a saucepan and bring to a boil for 5 minutes.  You can use this to baste the chicken when you turn it.

4.  Grill or bake in the oven.  Today I baked it at 400 on my broiler pan for 25 minutes and then I turn it over and baked it for another 25 more minutes. It comes out just like it's been on the grill!
