Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the chicken pieces using a paper towel.
- In a large non-reactive bowl add all the ingredients for the marinade and mix well till they are well combined. Place the chicken pieces and marinade in a plastic storage bag toss to coat chicken with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for minimum 30-45minutes at room temperature or in refrigerator overnight. Toss the chicken at-least once while marinating.
