Several hours before serving-or the day before, if time allows, rub the chicken
pieces pieces with th
e garlic and place them in a deep china or earthenware bowl. Combine marinade
ingredients and the garlic clove and pour over chicken. Cover the bowl and
refrigerate the chicken. Turn chicken pieces occasionally. When ready to cook,
preheat the broiler to its highest setting. Arrange the chicken pieces on the
broiler rack and baste with a little of the melted butter mixture. (Reserve
part of the basting mixture to serve over the chicken when served.) Broil the
chicken 3-4 inches from the heat for 5-8 minutes per side, basting often.
Remove to serving platter, pour reserved basting mixture over the chicken
breasts and serve immediately. This is also good done on a BBQ.
