Grilled Chicken 

Ingredients

• 6 to 10 chicken thighs (or other parts)
• Garlic powder
• Montreal Seasoning (McCormick's)
• Sesame seed oil
• Lemon juice

Procedure

I don't know the exact amounts I use. I guess I should measure it sometime! Sprinkle the chicken with a lot of garlic powder. Sprinkle Montreal seasoning on (not too much). Pour about a teaspoon of sesame seed oil on and a tablespoon of lemon juice (put more if you like). Rub it all together and set it in the fridge for an hour. Grill on BBQ and chow down! If it doesn't taste good to you, then come on over and I'll cook it right for you.
