20 minutesCooking time:
25 minutes“Bay leaves are available imported, usually from Turkey, or domestic, usually from California. The California variety is the least expensive. To save even more, look for the bay leaf pieces instead of whole leaves.”
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 2 (2 1/2-pound) chickens, split into halves
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 bay leaves, broken into quarters
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
Directions

Preheat grill or broiler. Arrange chicken in a shallow dish.

Combine gingerroot, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over chicken. Let stand for 20 minutes.

Drain chicken. Place chicken, skin side down, on the grill. Cook, turning and basting every 5 minutes, until juices run clear when meat is pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan or microwave-safe dish. Divide chicken among serving plates. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
