Grease a baking dish and add the chicken portions, retaining some of the marinade for the sauce.
Cook the chicken in the pre-heated oven for about an hour, brushing with a little butter occasionally.
To finish the sauce, melt the rest of the butter with the remaining marinade and the sour cream.
Gently heat without boiling for a few minutes, then pour over the cooked chicken and serve.
