Marinated Chicken Quarters

This is a fine recipe for chicken.

It calls for, 1 whole chick quartered, but you can use whatever you want.
( bone-in breast halves)

Me... I use thighs or leg quarters... being they are the staple of our chicken grilling.

Enjoy!!!

1/2 cup unsalted butter - melted
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic salt

Mix first 7 ingredients together. Reserve 1/2 cup for later use.

Clean and wash chicken - pat dry.

Sprinkle chicken with salt & pepper and place into a zip lock freezer bag

Pour marinade over chicken and seal bag (remove as much air as possible)

Place reserve in a covered container. Stick in the fridge along with the chicken.
