Chop garlic, peppercorns, and salt to taste in a blender or food processor. Gradually add coriander, then lemon juice, and process to a coarse paste. Cut chicken through the bone into 2 inch pieces using a sharp heavy cleaver or with poultry shears. Cut breast into sixths, thighs in half. Or chicken may be left in traditional serving pieces. Combine chicken pieces and garlic-coriander mixture in a bowl, turning to coat. Cover and marinate 2 hours at room temperature or refrigerate overnight. Prepare grill or broiler. Place chicken on a rack over broiler pan or on grill, patting any excess garlic mixture on chicken. Cook 7-9 minutes on each side, about 6 inches from heat source, until outside is crisp and chicken is tender. |
