Once your ingredients have been poured over the chicken the chicken is placed in the oven to bake or roast. Every 15 minutes you will take a basting brush (found at any store selling kitchen gadgets such as Walmart, Target, KMart, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc... I recommend the new types that are sillicone rather than the old "hair" type of brush!)and baste the chicken. (Basting the chicken means you will dip the basting brush down into the liquids around the chicken and brush the liquid all over the chicken to keep it from drying out) This process also gives the chicken, or any food you might be basting, a lot of extra flavor. Hope that helps!
