Chicken Marinade or Baste image

This is a great marinade for baked or grilled chicken legs, breasts or thighs. It also makes a great sauce for wings for that summer BBQ. Use some of the left over marinade to baste the chicken as it bakes or grills. Just remember, to let it cook after basting since the raw chicken marinaded in it. The sauce sticks to the chicken very well and gives a wonderful flavor. This is quick and very easy to make when you are pressed for time on a hot summer night. Marinade time not included in cooking time. Edited to add that Chef Jessica used this as a OAMC recipe and said in her review that it worked great and froze very well! ETA: I added Agave nectar as a substitute for Honey or Maple Syrup. This is a great substitution for diabetics!
