Dressed in blue jeans, his Arizona Wildcats hat and a white sweatshirt, McCain bounced on the toes of his shoes as he dropped 3-lb. chickens over one of four crusty gas grills. Covered with Hog's Breath--a dry seasoning of salt, pepper, garlic and paprika--the hunks browned over low heat for an hour and a half while grillmaster McCain constantly applied fresh squeezed lemon juice to keep them moist.
