Yummy, Yummy! I grilled the chicken and basted with the marinade. Very good flavor and moist breasts. I didn't have a jalepeno on hand- so it didn't have any heat-- but we didn't mind. Really good taste--thank you!

I can see why this won a prize. I marinated it over night and the flavors really soaked into the chicken. I used skinless, bonless breasts and cut the recipe back to 2 servings. Baked at 350 for 45 minutes. The breast were lovely & moist.
