"This is my step-daughter's favorite recipe, and it always disappears. It's very simple and tastes great around the campfire. Cooking time does not include marinating. This recipe can be customized with dried or fresh herbs."

This was amazing! I prepped this before hand and we took it camping and grilled it in a foil packet. I made a double batch of the sauce and put half of it in another foil packet with mushrooms, carrot strips, pineapple, and red peppers. Grilled both for about 20 minutes, combined them in a foil pan and served it over brown rice. the whole group LOVED IT! Thanks for the recipe! Definitely a keeper!

I used only a quick shake of crushed red pepper flakes. I marinaded the chicken overnight and then cooked it on my stove top grill pan. It was very good.

Made ahead of time and froze, then marinated as it defrosted. Flavorful but way to spicy for the kids, would definitely cut down the red pepper flakes next time. Thanks for sharing!

Sorry, we just didn't love this. I added some fresh herbs as suggested but decreased the red pepper flakes to 1 tablespoon. The heat still seemed to overpower the other flavors.

This marinade is just delicious! I took your advice and added some fresh herbs I had in the fridge: some garlic chives and some basil. I also let the chicken marinate for over 7 hours before grilling it up. The chicken was really moist and the flavor was just spectacular. A keeper!
