This is one of our favorites, around our table. I like chicken thighs, it's a lovely meat, thats tasty, and not as expensive as the breast meat. You could easily prepare this the night before, or early in the morning, put everyting in the plastic zipper bag, and let it marinate. You could  use chicken legs, and the skin can also be removed, from either piece of meat. I served these with some spaghetti and this peanut sauce, they are really great with rice too. Hope you give them a try !
