This was absolutely incredible!!! The smell had us drooling and the taste was even better. Love, love, love the mix of spices. This is a winner and my family and I thank you for sharing this.

I'll admit I was sceptical about the list of ingredients, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It is fabulous. My husband couldn't get enough of it. I left out the onion and cut back on the soy sauce. The jalapeno adds a perfect kick to the marinade. Thank you for posting...it's definitely a keeper.
