This was one of recipes I made for ZWT 06. This was met with raves from ME!, my hubby and our son who "just stopped by!" The marinade for the chicken is so fragrant and so yummy I didn't want to wash my hands afterward! I know, I know, but this recipe was fabulous, and it's going on a hand-written recipe card for posterity, and that really IS the greatest compliment I can give! Thank you Kymmarie!

This is really good. You have to drizzle the butter in the last few minutes of cooking. It really does top it off. I will be making this again. I plan on freezing some ahead in the marinade and adding to my OAMC collection! Thanks Kymmarie!

Full of flavour, colour, aroma and so moist! I used turkey breast instead of chicken but otherwise I follow the recipe as written. I marinade overnight the chicken for a full aroma, bake for 30 minutes and added 1 teaspoon margarine on top. Thanks for posting!
