Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken halves in a baking dish, skin side up, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.

Bake the Chicken
After marinating, place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.

Rest the Chicken
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute.
