Grilled Butterflied Leg Of Lamb With Lemon Herbs And Garlic

I went to a cookout last weekend and this was the main dish. This lamb was perhaps the best i've ever tasted. Juicy, succulent, and full of flavor thanks to the herbs garlic and lemon. I begged the host for the recipe, and here it is for you. Note: i would cook this a little longer for medium meat...just my preference. Also, you might want to secure the meat lengthwise with 2 skewers and widthwise with 2 skewers so it doesn't fall apart on the grill.
