  1. Our chicken cooked up beautifully, though the marinade appeared charred from the grill. Had a lovely flavour and the chicken inside was beautifully tender and moist. Prepared the marinade in the morning and allow to marinade all day in the fridge. Photo also to be posted. Made for ZWT8
     
  2. Great marinade! I can only imagine this is amazing on the grill; we got rid of our old grill before we moved and have not bought a new one yet so I had to saut? the chicken on the stovetop. Was not too sweet or to bitter/sour from the lemon juice and soy sauce. Will make again when we get a grill! Made for ZWT8.
     
  3. I found this in my TOH Backyard Grilling book so tried it today. I had not read the reviews here but now that I have I find it quite funny because a few people thought there wasn't enough honey and we thought there was too much making the chicken too sweet. Just goes to show you that we all have different tastes. I actually cooked my chicken in the slow cooker for about 2 hours just to get it started, then finished on the grill. All in all, a good recipe that I will make again. Thanks for posting.
     
  4. This had a great texture, and the chicken was very moist and tender coming off of the grill. However, we didn't really feel that the marinade offered a lot of improvement to flavor than a simple salt and pepper and herb sprinkling would. The soy was a bit overpowering and very much dominant to the other flavors. I let this sit in the marinade for 10 hours before grilling. Made for ZWT
     
  5. Real winner, we loved this! Easy to make, too. Not as sweet as other recipes like this, which made me very happy! Thanks for sharing :)<br/>Made for ZWT 8 / Aus/NZ for the Lively Lemon Lovelies
