I triple this recipe when chicken is on sale, freeze it with the marinade in resealable bags. The night before I need it, I place a bag in the refrigerator and the chicken marinates as it thaws.—Anne Wegener, Springville, Indiana

The chicken turned out nice and moist, but I didn't care for the sauce that went over the chicken. To me, it just didn't have that much flavor. Probably will not try again.

I agree - the marinade needs something. The lemon juice was too much. Any ideas?
