The chicken tasted fine. The sauce didn't thicken and the chicken wasn't sticky. I followed the recipe exactly as listed. Maybe it needs more honey and the addition of cornstarch as was suggested by a reviewer.

I enjoyed the flavors in this easy-to-make main dish, but found the lemon a little strong, and will add more honey next time. Also, my sauce did not thicken (I was using skinless breasts, so perhaps that was an issue.), so I had to put it in a saucepan and add a little cornstarch.

the taste is little too 'lemony' for me. but i love the garlicky taste though.

Great flavor! I used these proportions: 6 meaty chicken thighs (abt. 2 pounds), bone-in, skin on 3-4 tablespoons lemon juice Zest from 1 lemon 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons olive oil 3-4 cloves garlic, crushed 2 teaspoons dried oregano Baste once, at halfway point. Totally delicious. The crispy, flavorful skin is to die for. Thanks for sharing!
