I used skinless/boneless chicken thighs and they were great!! This marinade is a really good "go to" recipe and would be good for seafood or pork. We enjoyed these with rice and a fresh green salad. Made for ZWT8. Thanks FloridaNative!

This was great. I used chicken breasts and marinated all day. The chicken was very flavorful and juicy. I made for ZWT8 for The Fearless.

A very nice chicken recipe. We enjoyed the flavor and a nice low cal. recipe. We used chicken breasts and they worked great.

Fantastic!!! I just loved the chicken made this way. I used chicken quarters and scaled back the amount of marinade to match. This is so light and fresh but still so full of flavor. I used fresh lemon juice which I think is a MUST in this recipe, the bottled juice wouldn't do it justice. Thanks for sharing the recipe, it is one that will be repeated often at our house. Congrats on your win in the football pool.
