    Shame on me for not having white wine or olive oil. I used canola. Used drum sticks and marinated for 45 min cause I was really hungry. The chicken was very moist and had a hint of flavor (my fault but from what I did do right, Tasty!

    We had just come back from Mexico and love the outdoor grilled chicken there. We did this recipe but put it on the grill with indirect heat. ..THis is our absolute favorite chicken for the summer and maybe even year round. It is a perfect mix of flavors. We love it!

    Very moist and delicious! I thought it was very flavorful; it was surprising to read reviews that claimed it was bland. My chicken was a little over 5 lbs, so it required some extra time in the oven. I served it with saffron rice and peas. Yummy!

    I made this chicken last night for dinner and it was a hit! My husband and kids loved it! It was as good as the chicken they serve at our favorite Cuban restaurant. Give it a try, it is very delicious.

    I prepared this dish for a dinner party of 8 people, of course I bought a bigger chicken than specified. Everyone loved how juicy and flavorful the chicken turned out to be. The skin was just perfectly golden brown. Be careful to check and make sure the chicken is cooked through, I had to leave mine for another 20 minutes than specified.
    I made roasted green beans and creamy polenta as side dishes.
    I suggest this recipe, give it a try!

    This chicken is awesome! It's actually way easier and faster than I thought. Made it for my wife and 3yr old son and they raved about it. My wife wanted me to make it the next week already.

    The only suggestions I have for this one is I added more salt for taste and I used lemon instead of lime (I used lime the 1st time and wasn't a huge difference. I marinated chicken for 1-2 days. I also used single thigh and drumstick peices since they were on sale.

    This chicken is so delicious! Finger-lickin' good is how I'd describe it. The only thing I changed in the recipe was that I substituted beer for the wine as it's a personal preference of mine when cooking Cuban dishes.

    The garlic is just the right amount with a new twist on whole chicken. The skin becomes so crispy you would think it was fried. A must try for garlic lovers.

    The chicken was not fully cooked after 50 minutes. I had to bake it 15 minutes more. It had a rather bland taste. I was able to make chicken salad with most of the leftovers.
