Mine tasted like a oily bitter mess. So be careful when you are making the dressiIng. If the oil gets too hot it will make the garlic bitter I also found that there was too much oil. I couldn't eat it.

I actually got one of the baked chickens ready to eat at the grocery store that was already seasoned - didn't have to cook and it added lots of flavor - turned out really good, easy, can make it early for busy school nights or when having people over!
Will definitely make again :

I found this a little bland prepared per the recipe, so I added a few things:
1TBL chopped fresh basil
1TBL chopped fresh parsley
Juice of half lemon
Salt to taste
And I used farfalle instead of penne, Things stick to it better.
Now it's yummy!!!
