If you're using cut-up chicken, put it in a large zip-lock bag, pour the marinade over the chicken and seal the bag.
• Let the chicken marinade for at least an hour, or as long as a day.
• At least 1 hour before you want to serve the chicken, pull it out of the bag. You can either grill your chicken or you can roast it in a 375 degree oven for about 1 hour. Either way, cook it until the juices run clear when it's pierced to the bone.
