Do you drain marinade before baking chicken?

I have never made a marinade until now. I want to bake the chicken but I don't know if I should bake it with the marinade or drain it off and just cook the chicken.
Again, I am new at cooking and am trying to do new things. Thanks.

For all you meanies, I've already googled. Not gonna read a bunch of blog posts and junk.

Usually the marinade is just lemon juice/ yogurt/wet and dry spices and salt. So there's only enough to cook it in. Don't throw it coz that's the flavor.

@Vivaci the meat has been sitting in a bowl full of marinade, so do i put that into a deep baking dish and bake it? Or pour it off? It's been marinated for over 12 hours so it should still have flavor if drained right??

@iamnikki Yeah, pour it in the baking dish over the meat before you bake... You can make jus(gravy) out of that after it's baked.
