In a large bowl, combine the ingredients for the marinade until smooth and allow to marinate chicken in this mixture for 1 hour minimum in the refrigerator.

When ready to cook, bring chicken at room temperature. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F (200°C).

Transfer chicken and a bit of sauce to a baking dish or roasting pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 425°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, basting with marinade from time to time, until cooked through.

Meanwhile reduce the remaining marinade a little bit in a saucepan on the stove while chicken is cooking, then drizzle the reduced sauce over cooked chicken and toss before serving.

Garnish with cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
