Directions:

Season the thawed chicken with salt and pepper. Put in 9x13 pan. (It seems to work best if the chicken pieces aren't touching each other.

Mix together the remaining ingredients for sauce. (I doubled the sauce.) Pour the sauce over the chicken and in the pan.

Bake at 375 F for 1-1.25 hours. (I baked it loosely covered with foil for the first 45 minutes, uncovered for the rest of the time.)

Cook rice toward the end of the baking.

Serve the chicken and sauce over rice.
