Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
3 tablespoons minced shallot or green onion
2 tablespoons butter -- softened
3 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 pieces chicken legs with thighs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bunch fresh oregano sprigs
3 pieces lemon peel strips
 

Preparation:

Combine herbs, shallots, butter, garlic, lemon peel, salt and pepper in medium bowl. Loosen chicken skin by gently pushing fingers between the skin and the chicken, keeping skin intact. Gently rub herb mixture under skin of chicken, forcing it into the leg section; secure skin with wooden picks. (Soak wooden picks in hot water 15 minutes to prevent burning.) Cover and refrigerate chicken at least 1/2 hour. Brush chicken with oil. Arrange briquettes on each side of rectangular metal or foil drip pan. Grill chicken, skin side down, in center of grid on covered grill 20 minutes. Turn chicken and cook 20-25 minutes or until juices run clear. Garnish with oregano sprigs and lemon strips.
