| Rinse the chicken under cold running water, then pat dry with paper towels. Cut away any excess fat, then cut into pieces. Prepare a marinade with the lemon juice, 1/2 cup of olive oil, minced garlic and salt. Place the cooked chicken in the marinade for at least an hour. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated pecorino cheese, chopped parsley, sage, rosemary and freshly ground pepper. In a small bowl, make a basting liquid with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and vinegar. Preheat the flame of the grill, or light the coals under the grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade and roll the pieces in the breadcrumbs, thoroughly coating them by firmly pressing them into the mixture. When the grill is ready, place the breaded chicken on the grill. Brush and moisten the pieces with the basting liquid every time you turn them. Grill until the chicken is evenly golden on each side. Serve with lemon wedges. |
