Spicy Chile Grilled Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 8 garlic cloves, crushed
• 3 spicy red chiles or jalapeño chiles, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 (4 1/2-pound) whole chickens, each cut in half

Preparation

1. 1. Combine first 10 ingredients in an extra-large (2-gallon) heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag; add chicken. Seal and chill 8 to 12 hours.
2. 2. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Place chicken halves, cut-sides down, on greased grill rack. Cover and grill over medium heat (325° to 350°) for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until done, turning chicken every 15 minutes. (Watch carefully to prevent flare-ups.)
