Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. MARINADE CHICKEN 6-8 HOURS:.
  2. In a large glass or stainless steel bowl, combine marinade ingredients.
  3. Using a sharp knife, make a few shallow slashes in each piece of chicken. Add the chicken to the marinade, turn to coat and refrigerate 6-8 hours.
  4. COOK CHICKEN:.
  5. Preheat the broiler and position a rack about 8 inches from the heat.
  6. Remove the chicken from the marinade; scrape off all the marinade and season with salt and pepper.
