To make marinade, place orange juice in small saucepan. Add soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sugar, garlic, gingerroot, pepper, and basil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
Pour cooled marinade over chicken, cover with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator to marinate overnight.
Preheat charcoal or gas grill. Remove chicken from marinade with slotted spoon. Pour marinade in saucepan, bring to a boil, then simmer 3 minutes. Reserve. Place chicken on prepared grill and cook over medium heat, 4 to 6 inches from heat source.

Discard marinade.
