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

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!
