This chicken was so moist and yummy! I'm notorious for dry chicken, will be making this again!

Excellent chicken! I had the chicken in the marinade for 1 day and followed the recipe almost as written. The grocery had fresh mint but I had to use frozen cilantro. It came out succulent and flavourful. Thanks so much for posting.
