We cooked this on the grill... it smelled really good when it was marinating, but the end result didn't have as much flavor as we had hoped for. My husband accidentally threw out the marinade, so maybe if we had used that it would have been more flavorful. Though I'm a little worried about the instructions for the marinade... it looks like you're supposed to put the leftover marinade on without cooking it (after it's been on raw chicken.) That sounds scary... I would boil it first.
