    Add the chicken pieces and marinade into a gallon-sized zip top bag.

    You can use any type of chicken.

    I used drumsticks.

    Remove as much air as possible (so you can mix the ingredients easily), close the bag tightly and massage the bag to mix the contents and make sure the chicken is well coated.

    This will also make the chicken meat extra tender.

    Refrigerate the bag and let it sit there for about 30 minutes.

    After marinating for 30 minutes, heat your grill to medium heat or preheat the oven to 375 F. Remove chicken from the marinade.

    Cook the chicken on the grill (great for summer evenings) or in the oven.

    To bake the chicken, place the chicken pieces in a large casserole dish.

    Cook the chicken for 45-60 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. When you open the oven the chicken will be be golden brown on top and the amazing smell will make your mouth water.
