Place the cut up chicken in a large baking pan. Pour the melted butter over the chicken. Combine the brown sugar, orange peel, ginger, and orange juice, blending well, and pour over the chicken. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 45 minutes. Remove and add the cherries, then return to the oven and bake an additional 30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and tender.
