This chicken has great flavor and it is very easy to prepare. I let the chicken marinate for about 6 hours and the result was great tasting chicken with the perfect blend of spices. We enjoyed it with Diced Vegetable Salad With Tahini Dressing.

This chicken was so tender and so delicious. Would make again. Even my little ones ate it all.
