Very tasty. I used this marinade on thinly sliced chicken breasts and even the fussy eaters in my house enjoyed it. It also gave my veggie sides an extra special something. I'm actually going to try it on a roast to see how it works out. If all goes well this will be our general 'works for everything' marinade. Thanks for sharing. -
Very nice way to do grilled chicken. The spices all blended well together. Made for the Babes of ZWT4. -
MADE FOR ZWT4. I mixed this marinade, thinking: boy, this ain't gonna work!! Far too sour! But I followed instructions ... We could not grill, as it's winter here in South Africa, so I had to use the oven. My goodness, it worked! I used bone-in thighs and drumsticks as I hate skinned and deboned breasts. The flavour was, as you said, tangy and lemony. It was very nice indeed, not outstanding, but really, really enjoyable. Thanks!!! -
I did half the recipe and marinated 2 chicken breasts. I omitted the salt and pepper. It had a nice taste. Thanks BeautifulBC. Made for ZWT4
