We tried this recipe while camping in Northern MN. The flavor was wonderful. I am sure i'll make it at home too. The only problem was the honey attracted bees and flys at our campsite, I think I'll prepackage everything next time so I don't have to mess with the measuring. This meal may turn out to be a camping tradition for us. -
I made this last night for the guys, and it turned out super moist! This time around it was made in a glass dish, covered w/foil and placed in the oven, but am looking forward to making this over the fire when camping. Thank you!

This smelled delicious while it was cooking! I used garlic powder instead of garlic salt and mixed the seasonings into the honey mixture because I didn't read the whole recipe through. I think I cooked it a little too long as it turned out slightly dry.

I am only commenting on the marinade itself. I didn't do the packets so I can't comment on them. If I ever get around to it i will revise the review. The marinade was great. Easy to prepare with nearly everything I already had. Marinaded the chicken in 2 ways. 1 - for camping this weekend, just tossed it int a ziplock bag and froze, the other in a dish and covered for 1/2 a day. BBQ'd the chicken and it was tasty to be sure. Too bad my DH overcooked the chicken and it was dry. Better luck next time. -
delicious! my whole family enjoyed this. i used some fryer thighs & they turned out wonderfully. i also used someones suggestion of putting it in a casserole dish & covering it w/foil.

<p>Married to my sweetheart for almost forty years and we have two wonderful children who are grown and have flown the coop. Also, we have been blessed with a wonderful son-in-law and beautiful daughter-in-law, plus FIVE grandchildren: two beautiful granddaughters ages five and eight, and three sweet adorable little grandsons ages 2 months, 2 years and 3 years. My husband and I share a combination of English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, Swiss, Polish, Austrian, German and French heritage, and our son-in-law and daughter-in-law are both Hispanic. We've traveled extensively to many countries abroad (we lived in Germany), and have traveled and lived in several states here in the U.S.A. Many of the recipes I post here are influenced by our combined heritage or from our travels, or they are old family favorites that I want to share with you. I hope you enjoy! Have been to culinary school with many years of cooking (mostly for my family) under my belt, so know my way around a kitchen. And I'm very lucky to have the best sous chef in the world, dddddh! One of my favorite chefs of all time is Jacques Pepin! I have several of his cookbooks, and enjoy watching his television cooking show Fast Food My Way. Another top favorite is Julia Child (of course!). A few other chefs I read/enjoy watching on t.v. are: Giada At Home, Ina Garten's The Barefoot Contessa, Nigella Lawson's Nigella Bites, and Patti's Mexican Kitchen, and many more. On my bucket list is dining at Thomas Keller's establishment The French Laundry in Napa Valley, California... as well as Alice Waters' Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and the James Beard award winning Tartine Bakery and Cafe in San Francisco. One day!! Hobbies/Interests: Decorating with fresh flowers and herbs from the garden is my passion, and brings me deep joy! It's really hard to beat!! I love connecting with others who enjoy the same. Gardening, decorating, sewing, music, dancing, film, and reading are also up there. Spending quality time with my grandchildren, family, and friends (and cooking holiday meals!). Currently, a newfound passion has been so richly rewarding for me: genealogical research. I heart ancestry dot com. And last but certainly not least, I absolutely LOVE cats--we have two half-Siamese fur babies (cats) that allow us to live here!! A Note of Thanks~ I try to personally thank everyone who kindly makes and reviews my recipes, but sometimes I am busy, late, or may forget. Please know that I am always humbled that you would try one of my recipes, and I enjoy reading the reviews and seeing all the pretty photographs. Thanks so much! </p>
