Instructions
Marinate Chicken:
- Place chicken in a large bowl and mix with pickle juice, salt, olive oil and lemon juice. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Sauce:
- In another large bowl combine all the sauce ingredients and stir well.
- Add chicken to it and to fully coat.
Bake:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Arrange coated chicken into the pan. Do NOT discard the sauce. It is safe to use it for basting as it will cook in the oven.
- Bake for 25 minutes and baste with the remaining sauce. Bake for another 7-10 minutes and baste again. Repeat until chicken is done and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Once cooked, baste chicken now with sauces FROM the pan, that are already cooked and broil for 5 minutes, or until a nice brown color.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve.
