I have been making this for years and this is one of my favorite marinated chicken recipes. End result is tangy goodness. I have made this for several large cookouts due to all the prep being done in advance.

AMAZING! I did prepare this the night before with a large frozen chicken breast and cooked it for dinner the next night. My husband LOVED the flavor of this chicken and so did I.

This was a really good marinade and gave the chicken a lot of flavor. Unfortunately, I left it on the grill a little too long. I will be trying this again soon.

This was an ok marinade, not alot of flavour left after it was barbequed. Perhaps it wpuld have been better in a frying pan. The meat really dried out.

My brother in-law, who has to have dipping sauce for EVERYTHING, at this with no dipping. Sweet and tangy. Very good, and smelled great!

This is excellent on chicken or pork. I cut the garlic salt in half & replace the other half with garlic powder. I also use fresh oregano and parsley from the garden.
