Will's Lemon Chicken

After the most bi-polar weather I've ever experienced... we are finally set to have some consistently nice weather here in DC.  Well, hopefully.  My roomie and I decided to take the charcoal out of storage and fire up the grill.

Tonight I will be making my step dad's amazing lemon chicken.  It's very simple and ohhh so delicious. :) All you need are four ingredients. Chicken breasts, butter, lemon juice, and garlic salt. 

For 4-6 chicken breasts:

One stick of butter

4 -6 oz of lemon juice

One teaspoon of garlic salt 

Melt butter.  Add lemon juice and garlic salt. Mix together.  Save part of it for basting the chicken.  Add chicken and let it sit in the mixture while the grill gets hot. 

Sear (high) chicken on both sides

Turn the heat down to med or low, 

baste chicken every time you flip it over

Don't over cook the chicken.

That's it. 

Teri Chicken

One of my coworkers remarked today that I sure do have a lot of chicken recipes for someone who hates chicken.  She couldn't be more right.  I rarely cook it myself.  I usually make recipes and just leave out the chicken.  However the two chicken recipes today are posted in honor of the 4th!  And I do actually like these marinades for chicken!  

This chicken is one of my family's favorite grilling recipes.  It's from my Aunt Paula originally.  It is delicious with Easy Fried Rice.
