Step 1

First, zest one of the Lemons (2) and one of the Oranges (2) to make a tablespoon combined of citrus zest. Squeeze the juice of each of those and set aside. Slice the remaining orange and lemon into thin slices, set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Leg Quarters (3) by rinsing and patting dry. Sprinkle generously with half of the Poultry Seasoning (1/2 Tbsp) , Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) , and a pinch or two of zest. Arrange chicken in a baking dish.

Step 3

Prepare the marinade by mixing the fresh squeezed juice, Olive Oil (1/4 cup) , Honey (2 Tbsp) , Garlic (2 cloves) , and remaining Poultry Seasoning (1/2 Tbsp) . Taste for flavor.

Pour the marinade over the chicken.

Step 5

Arrange Onion (1) , citrus slices, Fresh Rosemary (1 sprig) , Fresh Thyme (2 sprigs) , and Fresh Parsley (3 sprigs) . Marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.

Take the chicken out of the fridge and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degreees C).

Step 7

Sprinkle the chicken with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
