Cover and grill the meat for 45 to 60 minutes or until thermometer registers 155 degree F for medium doneness. (Or place bone side down in a foil-lined shallow roasting pan. Roast, uncovered, in a 325 degree F oven for 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until thermometer registers 155 degree F for medium doneness.)

Cover meat and let stand about 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
