PREPARATION
• For marinade, in a shallow nonmetallic dish combine thawed orange juice concentrate, soy sauce, honey, lemon-pepper seasoning, and ginger and garlic powder. Set aside.

Remove plastic wrap, place chicken pieces in marinade. Cover and chill 4 to 6 hours or overnight, turning chicken occasionally.
• Remove chicken from marinade reserving marinade. To grill, place chicken on the grill rack of an uncovered grill. Grill directly over medium coals about 12 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink, turning and brushing chicken with marinade one, halfway through cooking. Discard the marinade.
