Instructions: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary and a generous amount of black pepper in a bowl. Pour this marinade over the chicken legs in a shallow dish. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight or for at least four hours. Remove the chicken from the marinade and sprinkle with salt.

Cook over a medium-hot grill or under a preheated broiler. Turn the chicken pieces over several times while cooking and brush with the marinade. Cook for about 35 minutes. Let cool, pack into a picnic basket and enjoy!
