This was an easy recipe to prepare. For my pinch I used 1/4 teaspoon each of chili powder and cumin. After baking there was only a hint of honey. I used chicken breast and they came out of the oven a little pale. I wonder if I could take the reserved marinade and brush the chicken with it the last 10 minutes of cooking to get a darker top on the chicken. Made for *Zaar Cookbook Tag 2009* game

I prepared this recipe for dinner, I used plain white vinegar and canola oil. We liked the marinade, next time I will add a teaspoon of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, it wasn't spicy enough for our taste, a few shakes of dried chilies would make it even more so! I love cilantro, but did not have any fresh herbs on hand, definitely will next time. For those who like a mild, quick to prepare marinade this is perfect.
