This was easy and absolutely delicious! I have never grilled lemon halves before, but I will from now on! The juice squeezed out so easily, and with a little honey on them, added a wonderful flavor to the already-wonderful grilled chicken!

This is a keeper!

I sprinkled some of my fresh spearmint on the chicken; my dill on the buttered carrots.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the only way to have boneless, skinless chicken thighs.

Delicious marinade! (Reduce the salt by half, though).
