Delicious! I was pleasantly surprised at how much flavor was in this chicken. Will definitely make again.

Great flavor! Perfect for summer-time grilling.

I had to make this with lemon juice, as I was out of lime juice, but the results were wonderful! Looking forward to trying it with lime juice in the near future!

I don't have a grill so I baked this in a roasting pan. It came out just like the pic and tasted very flavorful but I really want to try it again once I have a grill.

My family loves this recipe. The second time I made it though I marinated it an hour or two and I liked it even better.

I enjoyed the chicken very much (any food cooked with garlic is fine in my book!) Quick question: Can this be cooked on top of the stove in a grill pan or baked in the oven? - I'm sorry, but that was 2 questions!!!

Just made this today on the grill and we really liked it! You only have to marinate the chicken for 15 min. prior to throwing it on the grill which was nice. Didn't have to plan too far in advance. Good flavor and the chicken was nice and moist!
