Lemon Herb Barbeque Sauce for Chicken

By: JEANINEJ 
"This recipe is an awesome alternative to a red barbeque sauce for chicken. It was a neighborhood favorite during summer when I was growing up. Submitted in memory of Ruth Karahan who originally had the recipe and passed away in 2004."

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

  1. Preheat grill for high heat.
  2. In a blender or food processor, blend the oil, lemon juice, onion, salt, thyme, marjoram, and garlic until thick and smooth.
