This is a recipe that me and one of my favorite aunts, Joanna, used to make when I would spend the summer with her. The marinade has many variations. (The variations are that you can use whatever you want to. Our variations depended on budget alone for my aunt is an artist with shallow pockets.) Marinating is key to the success of this recipe. I try to marinate overnight or in the morning so that it can be ready when I get hiome from school or work. An hour or two will make a difference but the longer the chicken is in the marinade, the more delicious it will be in the end. You don't have to use chicken legs, but that is me and JoJo's favorite part of the chicken. Enjoy!
