A family favorite. I always use chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken, 4-6 of them is about right. The recipe calls for 2 oranges, but I usually only need one.
Ingredients:
2 large oranges
2 large lemons
1/4 cup chopped sage leaf
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
7 lbs chicken, in 8 pieces
sage leaf (to garnish)
Directions:
1. Grate 1 Tbs of peel and squeeze 3 Tbs juice from the oranges.
2. Grate 1 Tbs of peel and squeeze 3 Tbs juice from the lemons.
3. In large bowl, with wire whisk, combine peels, juices, sage, oil, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, turning to coat.
4. Cover and chill 2 hours; turning 3-4 times. Do not exceed time or chicken will be mushy.
5. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cook 20 minute Turn and cook 10-15 min until juices run clear.
6. Place in large serving dish and garnish.
