  Place chicken pieces in a glass or ceramic bowl. Mix marinade ingredients
  until smooth and well blended. Reserve 1/3 cup, covered and refrigerated,
  for basting while grilling. Pour remaining marinade over chicken, turning
  pieces to coat completely. Marinade, covered for 6 to 8 hours or overnight,
  turning occasionally. Remove chicken from refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes
  before you are ready to grill, leaving container covered. When coals are
  covered with gray ash, oil the grill rack. Cook chicken, skin side down
  first, for about 15 minutes on each side, brushing with the reserved
  marinade. Watch carefully, as uncovered grills will cook the exteriors
  faster than a covered grill. Pieces are done when exterior is golden brown
  and clear juices run when the chicken is pierced with a sharp fork. Discard
  any unused marinade. Garnish with strips of lemon peel, if desired. Total
  cooking time 30 minutes.
  
  Serves 6.
