Made this today for PAC Spring 2012 - it's wonderful! DH loved it and we'll definitely be making it again. Unfortunatley, the grill was out of gas (poor planning) so we put it in the oven instead. The chicken was moist and flavorful, still a keeper, and it smelled awesome while cooking. Next time, will try the grill. Served it with cilantro rice and a nice tangy mango lassi.
