ITALIAN MARINATED CHICKEN

Category: Poultry I

2 3-pound chickens, quartered
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
2 onions, peeled and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

To prepare the chicken: mix together the olive oil, parsley, onion, garlic, and a little bit of salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Place the chicken in a shallow dish and pour the olive oil marinade over the top of the chickens. Cover the dish and place back in the refrigerator and marinade for at least 4 hours.

After at least 4 hours, pull the chicken out of the refrigerator, remove from marinade, and discard the leftover marinade. Prepare the grill for medium-hot indirect grilling. You can do direct if you wish, just make sure the coals are about 12 inches from the heat source. If you do direct, watch carefully for any flare-ups. Grill the chickens for about 15 minutes per side, or until all juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the grill and serve. Serves 4-6
