2. Pour the remaining juice mixture into a zip-close plastic bag; add the chicken. Squeeze out the air and seal bag; turn to coat chicken. Refrigerate, turning the bag occasionally, for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
3. Spray the grill or broiler rack with nonstick spray; prepare the grill or preheat the broiler.

Grill or broil the chicken 5 inches from the heat, turning and basting occasionally with eh 1/2 cup reserved marinade, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in a thigh registers 165 F, 15-20 minutes. Stop basting 5 minutes before the chicken is cooked. Cut each chicken quarter into 2 pieces.
