    I used the recipe for Mother's Day and it was a great hit. To make the marinade, it took less than 10 min. I used boneless, skinless breast which sometimes can be a bit dry. By marinading it overnight the chicken was moist and juicy. I am planning to make it again for the 4th of July.
    Gracias Alex

    Also used on skinless chicken breasts... grilled with a little extra seasoning salt. A very good, simple marinade.

    Used this marinade on boneless, skinless chicken breasts for some friends, and everyone requested the recipe. Thank you Alex!
