Good recipe! The flavor was different and we enjoyed it. I usually only give 5 stars to absolutely top recipes, so 4 stars are thumbs up in our household!!

This is so good, the marinade ensures tender and juicy chicken. I used a bag of chicken legs that I bought on sale. I ommited the carrots because I'm on a low carb diet and can't eat them. I subsituted some quartered onions and also added some chopped fresh mushrooms. I agree, my kitchen smelled wonderful while this was roasting in the oven!
