Instead of whole chickens, I used 8 large chicken breasts that were 7 to 8 ounces each, but other than that, I followed the recipe right on down! Don't think I've had Orange Crush since they quit putting it in those short brown bottles, but I will say that, along with the other ingredients, it gave the chicken an interesting & enjoyable flavor! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement recipe tag]
