Herb-Tomato Grilled Chicken

      3 lb Chicken, cut-up                     1 ds Black pepper
      1 ds Salt                          

-------------------------------BASTING SAUCE-------------------------------
      2 tb Oil or melted butter                2    Cloves garlic, minced
    3/4 c  Tomato ketchup                      2 ts Dried basil leaves
      2 tb Lemon juice                    
 
  Cut off excess fat from chicken pieces.  Loosen skin away from the meat
  (this helps the basting sauce to reach the meat underneath). Sprinkle
  chicken with salt and pepper.  Mix together and blend well 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 crusty bread and a tossed green salad, tomatoes, and
  crispy baked potato wedges.
