Such interesting flavors here. Complex and full of flavor. The marinade really flavored the chicken strips. My husband loved the chicken straight off the "barbie". I really enjoyed the gremolata flavors. I might add more coconut next time. Thank you for a fun and yummy meal. Made for ZWT8 Australia/NZ

Great flavors! And I love that it is made with thighs, as I don't care for breast meat cooked this way (always gets too dry). I have had gremolata a few times but never with coconut. Nice. I am going to make some to go on white fish soon. (I used unsweetened and it worked fine). I used yogurt but may try this with sour cream also. I served the yogurt and gremolata in individual cups so we could put our own on top according to our tastes.
