Ingredients

• 3 Broiler-fryers chickens; (about 2 lb each), cut in half
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 c Butter or margarine
• 1/3 c Lemon or lime juice
• 1 tb Italian seasoning; crushed
• 2 1/2 ts Salt
• 2 Garlic cloves; crushed
• 3/4 ts Dry mustard

• 1 1/2 c Orange marmalade
• 3 tb Lemon or lime juice

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup butter over low heat, stir in 1/3 cup lemon or lime juice, Italian seasoning, 2-1/2 teaspoons salt, garlic, dry mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle each side of chicken halves lightly with salt and pepper. Place chicken on grill skin side up; brush with herb butter.
2. Grill about 4 to 5 inches from medium coals until chicken is tender, about 1 hour. Baste frequently, turn chicken occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, combine marmalade with 3 tablespoons lemon or lime juice and 3 tablespoons butter in saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, until melted. About 4 minutes before chicken is done, brush some of the marmalade mixture on each chicken half to glaze; grill about 1 minute. Turn chicken; brush with remaining marmalade mixture; grill about 1 more minute.
