Grilled Lemon Chicken Recipe

The 3-day July 4th holiday weekend is just around the corner. Many of us will be attending parties, backyard barbecues and area events to celebrate our nation's independence. One of the things that is always on our menu when we host a barbecue party here at our home is chicken. With that said, I am always looking for different ways to prepare the chicken and this recipe looks like a keeper!
