Spicy Baked Chicken

From a Tesco's magazine in the mid 1990s. A great thing to have marinading in the fridge for when you come home from work. Then all you have to do is throw it in the oven! Add some cooked rice and hey presto, a yummy, spicy dinner! Preparation time does not include marinading time.
