Citrus Grilled Chicken
8 servings

3/4  cup strained fresh lemon juice
1  tablespoon very finely grated lemon zest
3/4  cup strained fresh lime juice
1  tablespoon very finely grated lime zest
1  tablespoon sugar
1  teaspoon very finely minced garlic
1/4  teaspoon cayenne
1/4  cup peanut oil
8  each chicken leg quarters
 
Combine lemon juice, lemon zest, lime juice, lime zest, sugar, garlic, and 
cayenne in a saucepan, over a medium heat.  Heat and stir for 4-5 minutes, 
until sugar has dissolved.  Season to taste with salt and white pepper.  
Remove from heat, whisk in oil, and set aside to cool.  Pierce chicken pieces 
all over with a fork or skewer.  Arrange in a single layer in a baking dish.  
Pour marinade over the chicken, cover and chill for 1-4 hours, turning once 
or twice.  Drain chicken, reserving marinade.  Grill over hot coals for 20 
minutes, turning and basting often.  Grill for another 20 minutes, without 
basting, until glazed and cooked through.  Serve hot, warm, or at room 
temperature.
