bowl. Add the onion, garlic and jalapenos over the chicken, and mix up. Now add
the sauce mixture over the chicken, and once again, mix well. Store into
refrigerator for at least one day.
When ready to cook, heat up large
saucepan on medium heat. Place a small amount of olive oil in pan, and when
hot, add the chicken and a small amount of sauce. When well cooked on one side,
flip, and allow to cook until it is a dark brown on both sides.
When cooking chicken, heat oven to
375. When chicken is brown on both sides, add remaining liquid into pan, place

thermometer if not sure the chicken is done).
