INGREDIENTS
Marinade:
- 1 1/4 cups lemon juice (may use reconstituted but fresh is better)
- 1/3 cup fresh ginger, finely minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup peanut or olive oil

- 1 teaspoon Bell's Seasoning or rubbed sage
- 1/3 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

To prepare marinade, combine all ingredients in a blender except chicken quarters.
Remove all excess skin and fat from chicken. Pour marinade over each of the chicken quarters to evenly coat until no marinade remains.
