This grilled dinner always turns out moist and tender. The marinade has a Middle Eastern flair, giving the dish a zesty flavor. It makes a beautiful presentation as well. -June Thomas of Chesterton, Indiana

I made this for myself at least a year ago.. and just made it for my folks and sister with her family. It went over real well.. but they requested that I make it with chicken breast instead. Both times that I made it, I baked it.. since I used chicken thigh, I cooked it at 350 degrees for 45 min. Yummy!

I made this while camping. I pulled the chicken out of the bag and put it into a grill basket, then onto the fire it went. It was very easy, and quite a tasty treat to have around a campfire!

I made this with boneless chicken breasts instead and marinated it for 48 hours. It was the best BBQ chicken we have ever had!

This will definately be a regular summer recipe in our house!

This chicken had good flavor! Unfortunately my grill wasn't working last minute so I had to broil the chicken instead. I assumed this would have a spicier kick to it because of all the pepper seasonings it requires but I only tasted a hint of spiciness.

I really enjoyed this recipe. It was tender, juicy, and had a very good flavor. This is a keeper.
