My family and I didn't like this. I was a bit surprised by all of the great reviews. It didn't flavor the chicken much at all. It did look great coming off the grill but had little to no flavor except for the lemon. Perhaps I didn't marinate it long enough but I honestly couldn't imagine it helping since the lemon would likely dominate the other flavors. The other reviewer who used tofu might have had better luck since tofu is like a sponge.
