-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 lb Chicken Breasts, boned with
Wings attached
Salt and pepper
2 tb Soy Sauce
2 tb Maple Syrup
1 tb Sesame or Olive Oil
1 t Red Wine Vinegar
1 t Garlic, finely minced
1/4 ts Red Pepper Flakes

Sprinkle the breasts with salt an pepper. Combine the soy sauce, maple
syrup, oil, vinegar, garlic and pepper flakes in a dish large enough to
hold the breasts in 1 layer. Blend well.

Add the chicken breast halves and coat them with the marinade. Arrange them
skin side up in the dish and cover them with plastic wrap. Let stand 15
minutes, or until ready to cook.

Meanwhile, preheat broiler or a charcoal grill. Arrange the breasts skin
side down in 1 layer in a baking dish. Place the chicken under the broiler
about 6: from the heat. Leave the door partly open. Cook about 5 minutes
and turn the pieces. Cook skin side up for about 2 minutes. Shift the pan
to the lower rack so that the pieces are about 12" from the heat. Continue
broiling skin side up with the broiler door partly open about 5 minutes
longer.

Turn the pieces skin side down and broil 5 minutes longer on the bottom
rack. Turn the pieces skin side up and pour the remaining marinade over
all. Place the chicken about 6" from the heat and broil about 2 minutes.
(If you barbecue, cook the chicken on the hot grill, covered. The cooking
time is the same.)
