Marinate Chicken
Place the chicken thighs and drumsticks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
