    Incredible!
    My family loves this dish! No need to change a thing! I have baked the chicken with the marinade in a baking dish at 350 for about 30 minutes. It's perfect! I put the extra or baked marinade on rice and spinach. Super yummy!!! - 9/8/15

    the chicken amount does not seem listed right. How can the protein only be 4.5 grams? You might want to double check that.

    This is one of my husband's summer favorites. He asks me to make a little extra of the marinade because he loves it so much. - 11/12/11
