Savoury Chicken

One of those dishes that reaps in way more compliments in relation to the effort (what effort?) that went into making it. So good with a mixed greens salad and a rice pilaf. This is also really good on the grill - baste with the marinade a couple of times. Then I like it with cole slaw and corn on the cob.
