Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients except the chicken. Transfer the mixture to a large zip-top freezer bag, add the chicken, seal the bag, and remove as much air as possible. Massage to distribute the marinade evenly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Remove the chicken from the marinade and arrange it on a parchment-lined baking sheet, discarding the remaining marinade.
3. Bake the chicken until it is no longer pink inside and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 18 to 20 minutes.
