2 whole chickens cut into quarters
4 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons fresh minced parsley
3 tablespoons fresh minced cilantro
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch of saffron threads
freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon red chili flakes
juice and zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil


Mince the herbs and the lemon zest. Combine chicken with all
remaining ingredients making sure each piece of chicken is evenly
covered with the seasoning mixture. Let sit over night in
refrigerator.

Clean the grill off with a grill brush and a towel. Heat grill on a
high setting for 5 minutes. Place chicken on grill, reduce heat to
medium and turn the chicken over every 2 minutes. This will insure
even cooking. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the
chicken for another 10 - 15 minutes. Chicken should reach an
internal temperature of 160 degrees.
