DIRECTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients for marinade together

3. Preheat oven to 350 F


4. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until the chicken turns shiny and brown. Baste occasionally with liquid from bottom of the pan.

I usually prepare this dish over the course of a few days. The first day, I peel parsnips and boil them for about 10 minutes. I also chop ingredients, prepare the marinade, and marinate the dish for about 24 hours.
