2. Remove excess skin from the chicken, but do not take off all of it. Using a large knife, cut the chicken meat into pieces. Place the chicken pieces into a glass dish and pour the prepared marinade over the meat, rubbing it evenly into the chicken with your fingers. Cover with a lid and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
