3 tablespoons lemon juice |
10 cloves garlic, minced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 teaspoons hot pepper flakes |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 (1 kg) lbs chicken pieces |

2. Add chicken, turning to coat.
3. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours, turning occasionally; can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours if you want to make it ahead.
4. Reserving marinade, place chicken, skin side down, on a greased grill over medium heat; close lid and cook for 10 minutes.
5. Turn and brush with marinade; cook for 30 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced.
