Marinated Rosemary Chicken

Submitted by Barenakedchef

"From Taste of Home "This moist chicken, sent in by Wendy Molzahn of Beaumont, Alberta, is partially cooked in the microwave just before grilling to speed up cooking. The rosemary marinade enhanced the meat flavor...and there's enough sauce to set aside for basting.""
