3. Add the soy mixture, force out excess air and leave to marinate for up to 24 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 425F
5. Transfer chicken and marinade to a large shallow baking pan (do not crowd chicken) then roast in middle of oven turning twice until chicken is cooked through for about 35-40 minutes.
6. Arrange chicken on serving dish. (I place the chicken in the microwave without turning it on to trap the heat.)
