Recipe  Notes

• You could use any bone-in chicken for this recipe, but it will affect cooking time. Boneless chicken could also be used. Check the temperature of the chicken with a food thermometer. Chicken is cooked and safe to eat at 165 degrees F internal temperature.

• To get the most flavor from garlic cloves, use a garlic press.

Here's how to make it: 

1. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a plastic food storage bag. Season with black pepper, to taste. Squish to combine. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
2. Pour the entire contents of the bag into a baking dish. Lay the chicken skin side up.
3. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through, basting occasionally.
