I used 4 chicken thighs bone in and removed the skins before marinating. I followed the recipe exactly using Natural Light beer and marinated for 4 hours. It was delicious. The only thing I did was to warm up the beer, lemon juice and spices a bit before adding the warm melted butter. Amazing flavor and juicy and tender. Some of the other reviews used some flavored beers which sounded interesting and used different meat. I like the idea of thyme in it. This is a keeper.

Amazing chicken! I used a package of chicken thighs and a package of drum sticks (both bone-in and skin-on). I marinated the chicken in a 13 x 9" glass pan and only used 1 cup lemon juice since that's all that could fit in the pan. I served the chicken with grilled lemons, green beans and roasted potatoes. It was a delicious meal!

As others have mentioned the butter separates as soon as it hits the cool liquids which is to be expected. I would recommend oil or Parkay if you want the butter flavor. I would recommend separating the marinade and use less lemon in the portion you put the chicken in then use more lemon in the portion you use to baste the chicken as it cooks.
