Well Tigerduck I can tell you this recipe doesn't just look delicious! The marinade was superb and the almond coating gave it a great distinctive flavor. Actually I was really suprised by the marinade, it didn't appear to be too much different to previous marinades I'd used with chicken but it seemed to really soak it up and well under half the liquid remained.
