I put all the ingredients together to marinate the chicken. The next time I will use only 1/3 lemonade concentrate because it was a little strong. Definately a keeper for being speedy and tasty.

A little too sweet for me, but otherwise the flavor was good and chicken was juicy.

This was great. I loved it. I cooked my sauce a little longer and it made a great glaze. I served it with grilled asparagus.

This was great!! I ended up marinating this a couple of hours longer because we had unexpected company, and was relieved that the citrus didn't 'cook' the chicken. This had a nice lemony flavor and the garlic and ginger were very nice in the sauce. Thanks Redsie for a simple and delicious dinner.
