WOW! This bird will fly!! The chicken was moist and juicy, and the seasoning was uniquely exceptional. The chicken was absolutely lovely, a nice brown skin. I absolutely recommend this chicken dish to all. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This is so good. I made this chicken this morning because it's going to be to hot to cook later. Great flavor-don't expect a "Asian" dish because of the soy sauce-it's a complement rather than the main flavor, which is moist, delicious chicken. Made for Susie's World Tour 2018 and I will be making this again...grilled!

I did not use a whole chicken only boneless, skinless chicken breast and wings for the hubby. Put the chicken and marinade in a ziploc bag and refrigerated for a couple of hours. Laid lemon slices over the breasts and wings then baked. Very good and will make again when I have a whole chicken. Made and reviewed for Susie D's World Tour.

Wonderful! I followed the recipe exactly (except doubling the garlic) and just loved the flavor of the marinade. It deeply infused the chicken. DH complained about the lack of "sauce" (everything, in his mind, requires gravy) so next time I'll use the leftover marinade and make a gravy with the pan drippings. Then all of us will be super happy! Thanks for posting! Made for SWT 2018, Team Incredibles.
