Incredibly simple, tender and the perfect flavor! We didn't use pieces. We doubled the recipe and butterflied a whole chicken. Will definitely be making this again. It's on our "must-make-this-again" list. Thanks much to the original poster :)

In-credible. Very simple and very tasty. I cut the back out of a roaster and used a double recipe. Had to get a little creative with foil to keep the wings from burning, but it was worth the effort. This is going in the use often section. Thanks for sharing.

The best kind of recipe ~ easy and delicious. I've made this three times now and it was great each time. For me, the best part of this is that the meat doesn't have to marinate forever to taste great. Each time, I marinated for between one and three hours and the meat was juicy and flavorful each time. This is my go-to recipe for chicken. Thanks for posting!
