Notes

    1. Marinade time - Make sure to marinade the chicken for an hour. This helps bring out the flavours of the seasonings. You can even marinade this chicken up to 24 hours before cooking.
    1. Watch cooking time - These baked perfectly in my oven in 20 minutes. Yours may cook a little quicker or take a little longer. All ovens are a little different.
