I like this recipe on pork. Ours didn't come out as flavorful as I would have liked. Maybe I have to marinate longer. Also, something oily in the marinade might help. Thanks. :)

We used boneless skinless chicken thighs. They were in the marinade for almost 48 hours. They were so moist and tasty. Thanks Redsie. Made for 123 hit wonders

How can I say this without sounding a stalker? I'm coming to your house so you can teach me how to cook!!! This recipe is 100% delicious!!!! The only thing I changed was to use Bragg's Liquid Aminos instead of the soy sauce and it turned out fabulous. I tossed some sliced squash and sliced onions on the grill with it and coated them with the leftover marinade. Threw it all atop brown rice and feasted! Thanks so much!!!

Wonderful, very tender and flavorful! Right when I was about to put the chicken on the grill, we received an unexpected rain storm. So, I cook the chicken indoors on my cast iron skillet with the grill grids and it worked perfectly! Thank you for posting, Redsie!

I loved this! I used chicken breast tenders and marinated them overnight. I broiled them probably about 5 minutes each side. They were so tasty! I served them over couscous. I'll probably make a wrap out of the leftovers.
