Kamado Grill Lemon Pepper Chicken

We love this recipe for easy Lemon Pepper Chicken. We did ours on my Kamado Grill but you could roast it in the oven as well. The cooking time should be the same.

We used fresh cracked pepper on this because it gives you a bite more of the pepper flavor would than regular ground pepper does. Be sure also every time you cut one of the lemons to squeeze over the chicken that you put the squeezed lemon pieces into the cavity of the chicken.
