- Let it marinate for 30 minutes to overnight.
- Remove the chicken from the bags and place them on the roasting pan.
- Reserve marinades.
- Transfer the roasting pan to the middle rack of the preheated oven, and roast for 20 minutes, 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
- Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Brush the reserved marinade all over the chicken. Flip the chicken again, and brush the marinades on this side as well.
