A Family Favorite!

6-8 lbs. chicken (cut into pieces)
1 1/2 cups lemon juice
2/3 cup olive oil
Spice of the Gods (recipe follows)
2 lemons

Place the chicken, lemon juice and olive oil in large bowl. Add 1/2 of the spice mixture in with the chicken turning to coat pieces evenly. Place in refrigerator for at least an hour (the longer it marinates the better!). Grill chicken turning often and basting with the marinade for the first 15 minutes.

After chicken is fully cooked (about 45 minutes) remove from grill and place on a serving platter. Cut lemons and squeeze the juice onto the chicken. Sprinkle on the Spice of the Gods mixture to taste.
