Orange juice and soy sauce make such a tasty combination in this recipe from my mother-in-law. And the longer this chicken marinates, the fuller the flavor! Jennifer Petersen-Murray, Utah

Excellent. I agree with the submitter: the longer you marinate the better (I left them in the marinade for 30 hours). Only substitution I made was to use agave syrup instead of the honey.

This is excellent and I have made it a few times! I did not use the grill but it would be even better on the grill, next time! I did however saute it with the extra sauce for a bit~! Very good!

I leave out the ginger and it is our favorite way to do chicken! My kids love it!

This is fantastic! I halved the recipe for two large chicken breasts and used the left over merinade for rice. I used 1/2 T ground ginger instead of the recipe suggestion and it was great. I've made this several times and we love it (and so does whoever else is eating it)!

has anyone used dried/grd ginger for the fresh if so, how much did you substitute?

This is one of the best chicken recipes I've have found in a long time - no really "garlic taste"...just wonderful light orange taste to the chicken - not one piece left on the plate - will be making this several times this summer! Thanks for sharing this!

Excellent tender chicken with a wonderful light citrus tang. I will use this marinade often.It's well balanced -not too sweet, not too tangy I only marinaded my chicken for about 5 hours...next time I will do the full eight to see if it's even better! Thanks! If anyone is worried about using 12 cloves of minced garlic-don't be. It wasn't garlicky at all...just tasty.

Excellent. Works well in fry pan too...just drain well. Add some reserved marinate to cooked brown rice or make extra marinate and save a bit more. The marinate is super for adding to stir fried veggies. This is excellent cold the next day especially on a salid. IT did not tast at all Garlicky ( I used jarred garlic 6 rounded t( maybe the garlic lost some of it's clout?)

This was fantastic! Some of the best chicken I've had in a while. The marinade made the chicken very tender. I served it with some sauteed vegetables. Delicious!
