china or earthenware bowl. Combine marinade ingredients and the
garlic clove and pour over chicken. Cover the bowl and refrigerate

preheat the broiler to its highest setting. Arrange the chicken
pieces on the broiler rack and baste with a little of the melted
butter mixture. (Reserve part of the basting mixture to serve over
the chicken when served.) Broil the chicken 3-4 inches from the heat
