Lemon and Sage Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 (4-pound) roasting chicken
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup Sauternes or other dessert white wine
• 1/4 cup minced fresh sage leaves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 large garlic cloves, grated
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

• Remove and discard giblets and neck from chicken. Cut the chicken into drumsticks, thighs, and breasts; cut each breast in half crosswise to form 4 breast pieces total. Reserve wings and back for another use.

• Combine rind and next 7 ingredients (through garlic) in a small bowl, and stir with a whisk. Place juice mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken to bag; seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour. Remove chicken from bag, and discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt.

• Prepare grill to medium-high heat. After preheating, turn the left burner off (leave the right burner on), or arrange charcoal on one side of grill for indirect heat.

• Place chicken on grill rack covering right burner; grill over direct heat 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Move chicken to grill rack covering left burner; grill over indirect heat 10 minutes or until a thermometer registers 165°. Discard chicken skin.
