1/2 c. lemon juice

1/4 c. olive oil

2 Tbsp. fresh oregano, minced

2 Tbsp. fresh thyme, minced

2 Tbsp. fresh rosemary, minced

4 medium cloves of garlic, minced

1/4 tsp. salt

In a shallow pan, mix together lemon juice, oil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic and salt. Add chicken, turning to coat with marinade. Cover and chill overnight.
Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Place on a grill over medium hot coals and cook, basting several times with reserved marinade. Grill 20 minutes, turning once, until juices run clear when thigh is pricked.
**Note - Place a few sprigs of fresh herbs on the grill when cooking meats and poultry. The intense aroma will add subtle flavor to the food.
