"If you have kids or even if you don't, my best advise to you would be to double this recipe ’cause this chicken is soooo good, you will need a larger pan though. If legs are not your thing, use thighs, this marinade works for whole chicken that is cut into 8 pieces, as well. Short on time? simply pour on the marinade and bake, although the flavor will be reduced, browning first is suggested. Use fresh only chicken, never frozen thawed. Adapted from Jamie Geller"
