Grilled Chicken de Bahamas

Description
You don't need to head to the islands, when you can go to your grill and prepare this fantastic Chicken dinner tonight. It's quick to marinate when you use fresh citrus as the base, so the preparation time totals only about 45 minutes (if you happen to cook on a gas grill).

Today's recipe is our final offering for National Barbecue Month, as The Cook and Kitchen Staff head back indoors to select some of the best recipes sent to us this month while we finish this May with Recipes from our Members. Have you sent your recipe?
