Meet the Cook: Very near the top of the list of foods I prepare for company is this chicken. It's easy to fix and has never flopped. It is a family favorite, too - any leftovers are great in a salad or sandwich. My husband and I are the parents of eight, who range in age from 24 to 11. We also have three grandchildren. -Edith Maki, Hancock, Michigan

Maybe you could leave out the salt and use reduced sodium soy sauce to reduce the amount of sodium.

Sorry, I had a senior moment- 3,600mg from salt and 1,800mg in the soy sauce- 5,400mg

My only concern is all the salt- I'm on a reduced salt diet and I see about 4,600mg sodium in the marinade. I realize a lot will be discarded but how much is absorbed by the chicken?

Our BBQ wasn't working, so I baked in the oven ~ the only complaint I heard was, "why didn't you cook more?"
