Cover tightly with plastic wrap, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.

Turn, baste as needed, and cook on the second side for 8 to 10 minutes.
Turn and continue cooking, as necessary until the chicken is cooked through, but still tender, about 25 to 30 minutes
