I put the marinade on the chicken early in the afternoon so it had plenty of time to absorb into the chicken- it was definitely "zippy." It ended up being too spicy for my kids, but my husband and I liked it. I especially enjoyed the sauce but my husband asked for more sour cream in it. The only note I would make is to make sure the chicken is of uniform thickness- I had to kind of play with mine to make sure it cooked evenly because some of it was thicker than the rest.

Made this for Spring PAC 2008. This got mixed reviews at our house. I made this exactly as written but I didn't think the chicken had much flavor. Maybe if you let the mixture sit a lot longer, maybe it would draw through the chicken. We also thought the lemon seemed out of place in this recipe.
