Directions
If using whole chickens, halve chickens and bone completely except for wing joint.
If only using breasts, bone completely. Place the heads of garlic in water to cover in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
Drain.
Peel the garlic and cut each clove into paper-thin slices.
Toss in a bowl with the parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Loosen the chicken skin and stuff about 2 teaspoons garlic mixture between the skin and the meat.
Reserve remaining garlic mixture. Set chicken aside.
Prepare hot coals in a grill.
When the coals are ready, grill the chicken 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is no longer pink.
Do not overcook the chicken or it will become dry.
Heat the butter in a skillet, add the reserved garlic mixture, and sauté a few seconds.
Add the lemon juice and adjust seasonings.
Heat through.
Place the chicken on a large heated platter and spoon the garlic sauce over it.
