I got spice and GREAT flavor, but unfortunately, I didn't get much pomegranate flavor (the only reason this was disappointing was because of the GORGEOUS color on the chicken!) I'm thinking using pomegranate molasses may fix this. Otherwise, GREAT recipe! I used chicken thighs and my dinner party was properly WOWed

I used pomegranate molasses and subbed honey for the corn syrup. Served with plain short grain rice, steamed vegetables and a side salad. I burnt the skin a little! Made for Recipe Swap #88 in the Australian/NZ forum.

This is so good! I used pomegranate molasses instead of reducing the juice and a touch of honey I guessed at. I also did this on chicken breasts instead, and didn't read very closely and just threw them on the bbq straight away. Still turned out! Made for ZWT 9.
