I was really impressed with this recipe! The marinade is really good, I did substitute grated onion for the sliced green onion as I did not want all the pieces thrown down the drain. The chicken was moist and juicy, with just a slight beer taste. Very, very good.I will most definitely make this again. I am glad I found this at the start of grill season.

Delicious! I found the cooking time of 10 minutes as posted to be way too short. My grill was at 375 and it took 25 minutes.
