3. 3Add chicken and coat well. Cover and marinate at least 2 hours or over night in the refrigerator.
4. 4Preheat oven to 500 °F (260 °C).
5. 5Coat a wire rack with cooking spray and set it over a foil covered baking sheet. Place the chicken on the prepared rack. (You can also grill these on a barbecue.)
