I’ll be honest. I don’t have great luck with grilled chicken. Usually it’s bland, overdone and, as much as I hate to admit it, I’m usually to blame. Naturally, I was delighted when I found this foolproof Georgian recipe in Laura Kelley’s The Silk Road Gourmet: Volume One: Western and Southern Asia – it’s a giant bright bite of lemony goodness. The crazy strong flavor comes from an extra long marination – 24 hours. If you’d rather a milder flavor, try just a few hours instead.

Instructions
  1. Combine the lemon juice, five spice, and peanut oil. Pour over chicken legs, cover and refrigerate 8-24 hours.
  2. Grill on each side over medium-low heat, turning once. Ours took about 25 minutes, but you’ll need to check yours depending on thickness and grill temperature. Enjoy!
