Thought the lemon would be strange on the chicken but it adds some great flavor! All the flavors work great together and I've made the sauce for other meats too!

 whole chickens (3 lb. each)
2
small lemons, cut in half
1
cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce
1
tsp. Italian seasoning
4
cloves garlic, peeled

Make It

HEAT both burners of gas grill to medium-high heat

TRIM and discard excess fat from chickens. Squeeze lemon juice into small bowl; reserve lemon halves. Add barbecue sauce and seasoning to juice; mix well.

PLACE 2 lemon halves and 2 garlic cloves inside cavity of each chicken.

TURN off burner on 1 side of grill, then place chickens, breast sides up, on that side. Cover grill with lid. Grill 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until the chicken is done (165°F), turning and brushing occasionally with sauce mixture for the last 20 min. Remove and discard lemon halves and garlic cloves from chicken cavities before serving.
