Recipe Instructions

Combine all ingredients except chicken. Place chicken in a glass dish. Reserve 1/3 cup marinade and refrigerate. Pour the remaining marinade over chicken, cover and marinate at least 12 hours or overnight. Turn the chicken occasionally.

To finish the chicken: Prepare the grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place chicken on oiled grill.

Grill over medium-hot coals until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Turn and brush with reserved marinade. Continue cooking 15 minutes longer. Last brushing with marinade should be 8 to 10 minutes before meat is done. Heat remaining marinade in a small pan on stove to a boil, and serve as a dipping sauce for chicken.

This can also be grilled rather than grilled.
