How To Make hawaiian grilled chicken

• Step 1
  Wash chicken and place both halves in a large ziploc bag.
• Step 2
  Squeeze lemon juice; add zest for extra flavor.
• Step 3
  Combine remaining ingredients with the lemon juice and place in bag.
• Step 4
  Refrigerate for several hours (up to 6 hours), turning occasionally.
• Step 5
  Place chicken on broiler rack, skin side down or on grill; keep chicken about 7 inches away from heat.
• Step 6
  If grilling, set chicken on opposite side of the coals to avoid flare-ups.
• Step 7
  At start of cooking, brush chicken with marinade - then discard marinade so that you're not tempted to use it during the cooking (for safety's sake).
• Step 8
  Note: For extra flavor, sprinkle chicken liberally with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder just before cooking. Substitute lemon pepper for the black pepper, if available, for an extra zesty kick.
• Step 9
  Broil or grill chicken for 20 minutes or until browned on one side, avoiding flare ups.
• Step 10
  At this point, spray the chicken lightly with olive oil spray; then turn it to the other side and spray again.
• Step 11
  Cook for another 10 minutes or so until chicken is done (juice no longer runs pink).
• Step 12
  Variation: Wine vinegar may be substituted for the lemon juice. If fresh herbs are not available, substitute 1/2-3/4 teaspoon dried.
• Step 13
  Serve garnished with sprigs of rosemary and a lemon wedge.
