A few years ago McCormick Spices put out an Lemon Basil Chicken recipe- I can't find my copy and their website doesn't have it either. Help!

Also looking for an Orange Chicken Recipe that calls for orange juice & teriyaki sauce.

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

2 garlic cloves - finely chopped

salt and pepper

1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast halves

Prepare charcoal or gas grill or preheat broiler. In small bowl, combine lemon juice, oil, basil, Parmesan, garlic and pepper; mix well. Reserve 1/4 cup.

In shallow dish or plastic bag, pour remaining marinade over chicken. Cover; marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour. Remove chicken from marinade.

Over medium-hot coals, grill or broil until tender, basting frequently with reserved marinade.

Makes 4 servings.

1 (3 1/2 lb.) chicken, quartered
1/2 c. fresh lemon juice
1/2 c. light clover honey
1/4 c. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 c. finely chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp. coarse black pepper

Clean chicken well. Remove back bone, then flatten breast bone. Place chicken quarters in glass dish.
To make marinade, combine lemon juice, honey, oil, and garlic in blender. Process for 30 seconds. Remove to a bowl, stir in chopped basil and pepper and pour over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight, turning chicken a few times to coat.

To cook, remove chicken from marinade. Place legs and thighs 3-4 inches over medium-hot coals and grill for 10 minutes, turning once. Add breasts to grill and cook 30 minutes, turning and basting every 10 minutes. When crisp, remove and serve with fresh basil on side.
