3. Drain chicken, reserving marinade. Heat oil in skillet until hot. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook over medium heat until skin is crisp and brown. Turn, cover, and reduce to low heat for about 10 minutes. Test chicken by piercing with a fork. When meat is tender and juices are clear, remove meat from pan.

5. Cut into 3/4-inch (2-cm) wide slices and arrange on a serving platter. Pour remaining juices over chicken, garnish with turnip chrysanthemums, and serve.
