Arrange chicken, skin side up, in a single layer in a shallow dish.
Combine soy sauce, sherry, sugar, garlic, and ginger; pour over
chicken. Marinate in refrigerator, turning once or twice, for 2 hours.
Preheat broiler. Remove chicken from marinade. Spray rack in
broiler pan with vegetable spray; place chicken on rack. Broil 5 to 6
inches from heat, turning once and basting with marinade, about 10
minutes.
Variation: Use a grill instead of the oven.
Heat grill. Drain chicken, reserving marinade. When ready to
barbecue, place chicken on gas grill over low heat or on charcoal
grill 4 to 6 minches from medium coals. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or
until chicken is no longer pink, turning once and brushing with
reserved marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.
Serves 4.
Prep: 5 mins. Marinate: 2 hrs. Cook: 10 mins.
