Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 broiling chicken - halved -- 3-pound
1/4 cup Italian parsley
Lemon Sauce:
2 cups fresh lemon juice
1 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic -- minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper

1. To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before
using.

2. Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is
golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork.

3. Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a very sharp knife,
cut each half into about 6 pieces (Leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces).

4. Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit into the
broiler. Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If
necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches.

5. Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an
additional minute.

6. Remove from broiler and portion each chicken onto each of 6 warm serving
plates.

7. Pour sauce into a heavy saucepan. Stir in parsley and place over high heat
for 1 minute. Pour an equal amount of sauce over each chicken and serve with
lots of crusty bread to absorb the sauce.

To make lemon sauce:

Whisk together juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Whisk or shake vigorously before
using.

Serves 6.
