Wash the chicken pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a baking dish and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F.

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and drain, reserving the marinade.

Bake the chicken, basting with some of the marinade from time to time, for 1 1/4 hours or until fork tender.

Serve with boiled rice and beans.

NOTE: This marinade works well for charcoal grilled chicken as well.
