Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp grated fresh lemon rind
3 tbsp lemon juice
10 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp hot pepper flakes
1/2 tsp salt
2 (1 kg) lbs chicken pieces

Directions:

In large glass bowl, combine all ingredients except chicken; mix well.
Add chicken, turning to coat.
Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, turning occasionally; can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours if you want to make it ahead.
Reserving marinade, place chicken, skin side down, on a greased grill over medium heat; close lid and cook for 10 minutes.
Turn and brush with marinade; cook for 30 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced.
For a less spicy version, replace above marinade with Portuguese Paprika Marinade: 1/3 cup dry white wine, 1 tsp grated lemon rind, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce, and 2 cloves of garlic, minced.
