Preparation

Step 1
Wipe the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Combine the juice of the lemons, the garlic and olive oil and pour it over the chicken pieces. Turn so that they are coated with the mixture, sprinkle with thyme and marinate for one to two hours.
Step 2
Preheat coals or broiler.
Step 3
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and broil for about 30 minutes, or until cooked, turning once. Baste with any remaining marinade juices.
