# Grilled Chicken with Herbs
## INGREDIENTS
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1 teaspoon pepper
* 1 (3-pound) chicken
* ½ cup butter or margarine, melted
* ¼ cup lemon juice
* ½ teaspoon dried thyme
* ½ teaspoon dried tarragon
* 1 teaspoon dried parsley
* 1 teaspoon dried chives
**SERVES 4**
## Make Ahead
Prepare the seasoning rub and the lemon herb basting sauce up to 8 hours ahead.
## VARIATION
For an Italian twist, substitute dried basil and oregano for the parsley and tarragon.
## DIRECTIONS
**1.** Preheat grill. Combine paprika and pepper in a small bowl. Rinse inside and outside of chicken well. Sprinkle ½ the paprika mixture in cavity and rub remaining mixture over outside of chicken.
**2.** Mix butter and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Add thyme, tarragon, parsley and chives; mix well. Bring just to a simmer over medium heat, about 5 minutes; remove.
**3.** Brush grill with oil. Place chicken breast-side down on grill. Insert meat thermometer in thigh. Brush chicken with lemon-herb mixture. Grill, basting occasionally, for 20 minutes.
**4.** Turn chicken breast-side up. Grill, basting frequently with lemon-herb mixture, about 30 minutes longer or until meat thermometer reaches 190°F.
## Make It Quicker
Speed the cleanup of a charcoal grill by covering the grill rack with heavy-duty foil, shiny side down, immediately after removing cooked food. Close all the vents and close the grill’s cover. Once cooled, the rack will clean quickly with a crumpled ball of foil or a wire brush.
