the oil, tomato ketchup, lemon juice, the garlic and basil. Place

chicken pieces on rack. Brush both sides with basting sauce. Grill

chicken for 12 to 15 minutes on one side, brushing with basting sauce

from time to time. Turn chicken over. Brush again with sauce. Grill

chicken for another 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is done and

juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Serve immediately with

potato wedges.
