After reading the other reviews, I added a bit of olive oil to the marinade and salted my chicken (I used bone in skin on pieces) with coarse Kosher salt. I roasted over root veggies and aromatics instead of grilling. The flavor of the marinade is exquisite! The rhutabaga especially soaked up the marinated chicken drippings. A wonderful one pot meal. Served with a large salad

I don't have a BBQ so I grilled it, that space with an overhead grill between the hob & oven in British cookers. There was a lot of marinade, I think because some is lost on BBQ's, so as an experiment to see which I preferred, I grilled half & fried half. I browned the chicken in oil first before continuing to fry. I also have a dry-pan (saucepan with a central funnel (with a lid).) Next time, I'll try that. I didn't use my oven, still the easiest for this quantity (I froze half) because I had jacket spuds there & plus 2 pasta dishes. Served with the spuds, peas & mushrooms/asparagus from this site. Sauce went over everything.

Wow, kittycatmom, you've really done it! DH almost never gives a recipe 5 stars, but for this one he made an exception. I was so pleased with how easily it came together; I threw the marinade together at lunchtime and dinner was done in less than 30 minutes this evening. I had a few dinner guests as well, and even the picky toddlers gobbled it up. DS ate more than I did, even! I followed the recipe with the exception of using boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts. Thanks for posting; I'm sure I will revisit this one often. Made for PRMR.
