I tasted the marinade before I put it on the chicken, and was a little skeptical. Then I tasted the cooked chicken, and WOW! I cut the chicken in 2" pieces and grilled on skewers, and couldn't have asked for anything moister or tastier. Made for PAC Fall 09.

Very good marinade that my entire family enjoyed. I find that marinading chicken for 20 minutes is all you ever really need especially if there is acidity in the marinade (it tends to "cook" the chicken after a very short amount of time) so that is all I did and it was wonderful.

Delicious and tender chicken. I left in the marinade for about 6 hours before grilling and it was super tasty. I used onion instead of shallot and cut garlic down to one clove.

Tap tap....testing testing! An announcement: Never have I made a more flavorful marinade in 30+ years of cooking. Oops, I mean 20+ years of cooking. Disregard my previous statement. Made for Everday Is A Holiday.

A very tasty marinade for chicken. If doing it on the stove top line your frypan with baking paper for a quick clean up. We had ours served with baked wedges and a side salad.
