Ingredients

    3 pounds chicken pieces (nutrition figured on chicken breasts)
    1/3 cup soy sauce
    1/4 cup peanut oil
    1 Tb cider vinegar
    1 garlic clove
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. ground fresh ginger
    2 tsp. Chinese 5 Spice Powder

Directions

Wash the chicken and pat dry. Mix the soy sauce, oil, and vinegar. Crush the garlic and add to sauce mixture along with salt. Add the chicken and toss to coat all sides. Marinade for 1 hour or longer (over night is fine in the fridge). Use a plastic zip bag or covered container.

After marinating, place the chicken in a roasting pan, spooning about 2 Tb. of the marinade over the pieces. Bake at 350 F. for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until pieces are done on the inside. Baste every 20 minutes or so with the juices in the pan.

Note: You can also put the chicken on the grill outside. If you do, bring the marinade to a boil first before using it to baste it as it cokks on the grill. If baking, discard the remaining marinade after the 2 Tb. and use the pan juices to baste.

Serves 8.
