chicken on a cookie sheet that you've liberally sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and bake for 45 minutes.
About 20 minutes before the chicken is done, heat up your reserved marinade on medium high and boil gently for 10 minutes, reducing to a simmer to keep warm.
Remove the chicken from the oven and lightly drizzle the chicken with the cooked marinade.

Dicks Tips
----
You can always grill these on the barbecue instead Dick and they will taste just as great. Just be careful not to handle the thighs too much - you're coconut will take a beating.

----
If you choose steaks for this recipe, allow them to warm to room temperature either during or after marinating before you cook them. This will really increase tenderness.

Big Balls Spaghetti
----
You gotta have balls to admit when you're wrong Dick, but sometimes it's worth it. Here's a recipe for some home-made meatballs that you can whip-up and then add to the Six Month Mari-Me-Nara Sauce for some man-sized spaghetti.
¼
cup
Chopped cooking onions
1
tbsp
Butter
2
lbs
Lean ground beef
2
Eggs, beaten
¾
cup
Seasoned Italian breadcrumbs
1
tbsp
Herbes de Provence
½
cup
Grated parmesan cheese
1
tsp
Garlic powder
1
tsp
Salt
1
tsp
Pepper
Procedure
----
Preheat oven to 325° F.
In a small frying pan on medium heat, sauté the chopped onions in the butter for about ten minutes, or until soft.
In a large bowl mix together all ingredients, including cooked onions and work the mixture through with your hands until well blended.
Roll meat mixture into large, good sized meatballs, about 3 inches in diameter. You should have about 18 meatballs or so. Place on a broiler pan (which helps catch dripping's) and bake for 40 minutes.
Once cooked, simmer the meatballs in a pot of Six Month Marinara Sauce for about an hour. Serve over your favorite spaghetti.

Dicks Tips
----
If you don't have a broiler pan Dick, or you want to display some REALLY big balls, you can use a muffin tin instead. As for the pasta, the effect here is really pulled off with a big plate of good old fashioned spaghetti. Serve with Dicks Bread n’ Butter and some wine, and hopefully you'll be out of the dog house before desert.
