Combine all ingredients of the marinade. Prepare grill for barbecue. Parboil chicken pieces (see note below). Remove chicken pieces from boiling water and set aside. Baste generously with the marinade.

Complete cooking chicken on the hot barbecue grill, frequently basting with marinade for flavor and moistness. Serve with pickled vegetables and steamed rice.

If baking chicken, do not parboil them. Baste chicken pieces occasionally with the marinade while baking.
