  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 6 tbsp brown sugar
The night before, stir together ingredients for marinade in a casserole dish large enough for all the chicken pieces.

After 8 hours (in the morning) turn the chicken pieces over and continue to marinade till 2 hours before serving time.
