Mix all ingredients, except chicken, in a nonmetallic bowl. Add chicken to the marinade; toss gently to coat pieces well. Cover and
refrigerate for 1 to 2 days. Prepare a barbecue grill so coals are
white-hot. Spray grill with nonstick coating. Remove chicken pieces
from marinade and place on grill. Cook, turning chicken frequently so
it does not burn, until juices run clear when large part of breast
halves are pierced. Cooking time will vary between 12 and 20
minutes, depending on the heat of grill and the thickness of the breasts.
